Yes, home workers can be considered lone workers. Lone workers are individuals who work alone without close or direct supervision. This includes people working from home, as they typically operate independently, even if they are part of a larger team or organization.
There are specific health and safety considerations for lone workers, such as ensuring they have access to necessary support, communication tools, and ergonomic work environments. Employers are often responsible for addressing these aspects to ensure the well-being of their remote employees.
