About This Course
As we enter a period of returning to work, there is a definite shift towards WFH, agile or hybrid working patterns.
Hybrid working is growing in popularity and when your workforce is WFH some of the time and in the office for the rest of the week, we are seeing some health and safety challenges emerge both in the office and in the home:
When people are working from home it is difficult to oversee how people are working and to ensure they are doing so safely. Inadequate or poorly arranged workstations are leading to postural problems and associated aches and pains. It is often only when problems are too big to be ignored that help is sought.
Where employers have embraced hybrid working, hot-desking has become a feature of many peoples’ working life. Therefore training is particularly important for staff who “hot desk” so they have the basic understanding of how to adapt the different workstations to create a comfortable and safe place to work
In a hot-desk environment or when WFH, DSE regulations still apply and workers need to know how to check their workstations and adjust to their requirements.
Our superb workshop ensures your staff know the principles of good workstation setup and can complete their own DSE self-assessment. This will help protect them from developing musculoskeletal issues and other work-related ill health.
