The Ergonomic Assessment Process

In Short... It's about fitting your workspace to you! 

Do you know?

While blended working environments are becoming the norm, many employers are unaware that under the Display Screen Equipment Regulations 2007, they have a legal obligation to assess workstation health and safety—especially concerning physical challenges and eyesight issues. Let us guide you in meeting your ergonomic legislative requirements seamlessly.

What is a homeworking risk assessment?
