text: **Work at, from and in homes.**We can distinguish major types:**work at (own) home**, either as 
  independent work (self-employed) or classical home-based work;**work from private home**embedded 
  in daily routine work processes in an enterprise or institution; and**work in homes of others**. Long-term 
  care work, domestic work and teaching are large categories of work in homes; the work is performed in 
  the private homes of clients. Regarding work that is done at**home, from home and in homes**, the 
  application of some basic OSH standards has to take into account the dominantly private character of a 
  home. This triggers the question of**responsibility and supervision**: Who is responsible for risk 
  assessment and prevention measures? Is a supervision of compliance by state authorities in private 
  homes legally possible? 
  
  The craft workers who are doing**technical services in homes**of clients are statistically not counted as 
  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.
