Information
about OSHA
The home
office policy was first announced by OSHA Administrator Charles N. Jeffress
in Congressional testimony prepared for delivery on Jan. 25, 2000. "OSHA respects
the privacy of people's homes, and we expect that employers will too," Jeffress
said. The directive also states that employers are not liable for an employee's
home office.
