HI All, I hope that you all had a great weekend! This is probably a silly question, but think I have left my head in bed this morning.
I have recently rolled out an online self assessment tool for DSE users for 100 of our office workers. I was wondering whether anyone can advise me on this. I have a regional sales manager, who raised in her assessment that she uses a laptop for work, and also sits on a visitors chair (non 5 point base) when she is home. It is flagged up as an actionable issue as a '5 point based chair is a DSE requirement'.
Am I right in saying that the DSE regs also apply to homeworkers (irrespective of the fact they are 400 miles away from the base)?
I am also planning to request that she be provided with a laptop riser, separate keyboard and mouse. I think she should also be provided with a proper office task chair. Any thoughts/guidance would be much appreciated!
Rgds
