why ergonomic matters - stay legally compliant
The way we work has changed, but the risks have not. Without the right setup, home and hybrid workers are more likely to experience strain, discomfort and musculoskeletal issues, which are one of the leading causes of workplace absenteeism.
The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) now confirms that DSE regulations apply fully to home workers, mobile workers and hot-desking staff. This means employers are legally responsible for ensuring every workstation, including those at home, is safe, comfortable and compliant.
The impact of poor ergonomics is clear, as shown by the latest UK workplace health data:
-
7.8 million working days lost
-
15.5 days average absence
-
£500–£1000 cost per day
-
Well-being is an investment, not a cost
