Remote and Hybrid Work Plan

Product Overview

The Remote and Hybrid Work Plan is a comprehensive, professionally drafted WHS document designed specifically for Australian organisations with office, corporate, retail and wholesale operations. As flexible work becomes standard across the country, businesses must ensure that work health and safety obligations are met not only in traditional workplaces, but also in home offices and other remote locations.

This practical plan provides a complete framework for managing WHS risks associated with remote and hybrid work, including detailed procedures, responsibilities, checklists and templates. It is written in clear Australian English and aligned with contemporary work health and safety expectations and regulator guidance.

Key Features

  • Clearly defined WHS roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors and workers in remote and hybrid settings.
  • Step-by-step guidance on assessing, approving and reviewing remote and hybrid work arrangements.
  • Detailed risk management approach covering ergonomic, psychosocial, manual handling, electrical and environmental hazards.
  • Practical workstation and home-based worksite checklists to support safe set-up and ongoing monitoring.
  • Procedures for communication, supervision, incident reporting, emergency planning and injury management for remote workers.
  • Tables and templates for risk registers and equipment registers to streamline WHS documentation.

Benefits

  • Supports strong WHS compliance by addressing key duties under Australian work health and safety legislation for remote work.
  • Reduces WHS risks and potential claims by proactively managing hazards in home offices and other remote locations.
  • Saves time for safety managers and HR by providing a ready-to-use, structured safety documentation framework.
  • Improves consistency across teams, stores and offices with a single, organisation-wide approach to remote and hybrid work.
  • Enhances worker wellbeing by addressing psychosocial risks such as isolation, excessive workload and blurred work-life boundaries.

Who is this for?

  • Office and corporate environments with staff working from home or on hybrid rosters.
  • Retail and wholesale businesses with head office, buying, online fulfilment or customer service teams working remotely.
  • Safety managers, WHS advisors and HSRs needing robust documentation to support flexible work arrangements.
  • HR, People & Culture and Operations leaders responsible for implementing remote work policies and procedures.

Legislation & References

This Remote and Hybrid Work Plan is informed by Australian work health and safety legislation and contemporary regulator guidance, including duties under the WHS Act and Regulations (or equivalent OHS laws), and relevant Codes of Practice such as Managing the Work Environment and Facilities, Hazardous Manual Tasks and Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work.

While it does not replace legal advice, this document provides a strong, practical foundation to help organisations demonstrate due diligence, strengthen WHS compliance and maintain safe systems of work for employees undertaking remote and hybrid work arrangements.
