Denmark has introduced new rules on screen work from
home and the Danish Social Appeals Board has given guidance on when
an accident during remote work will be considered a workplace
accident.
The new Danish rules on remote work environments, and the layout
of the home workplace, have now entered into force. As remote work
has become more widespread, it has become particularly important to
be aware of when an accident that has occurred in connection with
remote work can be a workplace accident.
New rules on remote work
The new work environment rules for the home workplace have
entered into force. The rules have been relaxed for the employer,
as the requirements for the layout of the home workplace for screen
work now only apply when the employee regularly works at home more
than two days a week on average.
