When it comes to having staff working from home, these are some of the common mis-conceptions we are coming across. These can be expensive mistakes to make.

• DSE assessments aren’t essential | DSE assessments are required to be carried out routinely, by law, for all DSE users.

• We send out DSE self-assessments | Software and paper based DSE self-assessments are not HSE compliant on their own.

• We have given our employees money to buy office furniture. | Money to buy equipment does not guarantee that employees buy the right equipment or know how to set it up correctly. A DSE workstation assessment is still required.

• Home workers don’t need to receive a DSE assessment | All long-term home workers and office based workers using DSE must receive a DSE workstation assessment by law.

• Our employees only work from home one day a week | If working from home becomes a long-term arrangement, whether for one hour a week or full time, then a full DSE workstation assessment should be completed.

Talk to us today for more information about what your organisation should be doing for its DSE users.
