You indicated that the event or exposure that caused the injury or illness occurred while the affected employee was working from home.

Was the injury or illness a direct result of the performance of work, or was the injury or illness directly related to an aspect of the home environment or setting?

• The injury or illness was a result of the performance of work.
• The injury or illness was related to the home environment.

For example, if an employee is working at home and drops a box of work documents and injures his/her foot, the injury would be considered work-related. If an employee is working at home and is electrocuted because of faulty home wiring, the injury would NOT appear to be work-related.
