home workers but as workers at the premises of clients (Eurostat). In some important OSH aspects, it 
is similar to the work of the other professions ; these service workers fulfil their work tasks in a private 
environment where the employer can hardly perform a risk assessment, for example, of the electrical 
appliances or safety of floors, handrails or roofs. The risk assessment is done by the worker on the spot, 
based on experience. This is similar to short-term care work.
