Good for new Homeworkers
I have worked from home for at least 10 years so already have a firm understanding of good housekeeping and what I should do in an emergency
Refresher
This was very easy to use, and helpful.
it was basic common sense
Mickey mouse stuff that everyone would know anyway. Don't overload sockets!! Call 999 if there's a fire – come on – you could cut the time it takes in half by omitting the obvious stuff.
Essential. Difficult to make interesting
covered an important topic well but… some question answers seemed designed to trick you, in that there were no entirely wrong answers… this lead to more recapping and a prolonged, more difficult learning experience. Unfortunately not the most interesting – lots of talking perhaps have more observational / interaction rather than listen to me and then answer the question . you could have create some tasks which get you involved, and no problem if you get them wrong first time. e.g. which of the three things are important which of the following is most common here are 6 things to do in an emergency put them in order ……………….. then give the correct answer. then let `the proper test` follow at end – at least you are involved. This would lead to a more interesting experience as it was not particularly enjoyable (sorry but wanted to be honest)
Very useful course
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Usefull
useful if a little long winded
Covered the topic well
It covered all of the aspects of working from home safely, in an easily accessible way. Bite-sized sections were good to absorb the content.
Very clear – easy to hear and follow.
Brought up some points especially important for homeworkers working alone. Thank you!
Blindingly obvious
Most of the material was so obvious that it shouldn't really need stating. Don't put a skateboard or a large plastic duck at the top of your stairs. If there's a fire, phone the fire brigade and tell them where the fire is! Tell them if someone is in the house. Thanks for that it would not have occurred to me. Why no coverage of gas, water, asbestos, telephone or internet safety?
ideal for home workers
This video is ideal for staff who are likely to work from home on a more permanent basis. It is repetitive in some areas for staff who have already completed other videos i.e., DSE, Effective Remote Working.
