That is actually likely to become an issue, as more and more people work from home. I was reading some discussion on it a while ago, turning over the various aspects of the home office that your employer might have a legal responsibility towards. If you injure yourself in company time, the company can be liable - what if you trip over a loose carpet tile in your home office, while 'at work'. It will come home to roost sooner or later, but I think there will have to be a test case. Maybe it will even be a 'passive smoking' case?
