Posted By Rob sharp Hi all, I've been asked today if it is OK to have 2 people working at one desk. I can't seem to find any regs or anything that say they can't. Any advice would help greatly Thanks in advance Rob

Posted By Rob W As long as the desk is big enough for both persons, their chairs and their DSE equipment I can't see the problem.

Posted By Richard Altoft ACOP to WP regs gives guidance on workspace (reg 10 room dimensions and space and reg 11 workstations and seating in particular) but in principle "reasonableness" would be the guide.e.g is there glare from a computer, noise, body odour etc that could make work stressful or will lack of room lead to injury or ergonomic issues. In days gone by many desks were two sided and known as partners desks - still seen in some solicitors offices R

Posted By www.hsepeople.com www.hsepeople.com is the first website of its kind. A Social Networking site aimed specifically at Health and Safety People in all industries world wide. In Health and Safety the sharing of Information, Lessons Learned and best practise is very important. [reference removed] brings everything safety together in one place and makes it very easy to communicate with other HSE Professionals, Agencies, Companies, Suppliers, Trainers and Consultants. Only 2 months old but with almost 1000 members and more joining every day, [reference removed] is a not for profit community site that aims to be a one stop shop for anyone working in HSE. On [reference removed] you can create a profile freely advertising your services and availability, Chat instantly with other members through the sites instant messenger or through the discussion forums. With hundreds of HSE jobs being listed from around the world on the RSS Feeds or from the many big agencies posting on the forums [reference removed] has more HSE Jobs than any other site on the Net. Create a blog and let other keep up to date with what you are doing. If it is of interest to the community post it to the site magazine. [reference removed] also gives members the ability to create and manage their own group specific to whatever topic they choose and many agencies are taking advantage of this feature to create jobs groups. If you are a HSE Trainer create an event and advertise course places. People can join your event and leave comments or ask questions. They can also view who else is attending your event and communicate with them. The business directory page is now live and we will constantly be adding to it. If you work, recruit, train or consult in Health and Safety then your business can benefit by being on display to hundreds of the [reference removed] who are likely to use your services. [reference removed] also allows members to upload safety videos and you can now download all the videos using the new Micro Feed option and watch them offline. Great for training purposes! In the very near future we will be launching the document library. This will give any member the ability to upload, search, browse and download Safety Presentations, Procedures, Lessons Learned, Risk Assessments, Checklists, Toolbox talks. In fact any document relating to safety. No longer will you need to re-invent the wheel every time a new challenge presents itself. The chances are some one before you will have done it and you will be able to find it on www.hsepeople.com The site is proving a huge hit and I hope to welcome you there soon www.hsepeople.com
