I have one final question in relation to the remote working environment. First, does the HSA have any information on whether potential cases are being taken against employers for occupational accidents where people are working remotely? What is the trajectory of that? Second, has the HSA produced any KPIs for workers themselves so they can understand this? If, for example, I am working from home and I have a broadband router upstairs but my printer is downstairs, and if I have to go up and down a steep, narrow set of stairs in an apartment complex and then I have a fall, is that my responsibility or does it fall back on the employer? I just want to understand where the employee comes into the environment in terms of understanding and assessing the risks in their own work areas?
