Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Labour, Family,
  Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:The Occupational Safety and Health Act does
  not distinguish between workers who work on the premises of their organisation and
  those who work from home. Therefore, this law applies equally to all workers who
  carry out work for an employer.The legislation on occupational safety and health
  does not stipulate that the Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia must
  carry out annual inspections of workers who work from home for an employer.Home-based
  work is regulated by the Labour Relations Act (Official Gazette of the Republic
  of Slovenia, no. 21/13 as amended), in the provisions from Article 68 to Article
  72, where it is only stipulated that the employer is obliged to notify the Labour
  Inspectorate of the intended organisation of home-based work before the worker starts
  work.The Occupational Safety and Health Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of
  Slovenia, No. 43/11) stipulates that the employer must ensure the safety and health
  of workers at work.In the case of home-based work, the employer is obliged to notify
  the Labour Inspectorate of the intended organisation of home-based work before the
  worker starts work. To this end, it must implement the measures necessary to ensure
  the safety and health of workers and other persons present during the work process,
  including the prevention, elimination and control of occupational hazards, information
  and training of workers, with appropriate organisation and the necessary material
  resources. The employer shall take particular care to ensure the safety and health
  of pregnant workers, young workers, older workers and workers with reduced capacity
  for work, and shall take into account the specific risks to which these workers
  are exposed at work in the choice of measures, in accordance with the specific regulations.
  The employer must take account of changing circumstances and implement such preventive
  measures and choose such working and production methods as will ensure improvement
  and a higher level of occupational safety and health and will be integrated into
  all the employer's activities and at all organisational levels.
