information required please:~ can I ask what other users of this forum manage in regards to laptop/ipad/tablet provision to employees I am looking specifically at the desemination of user instruction manuals and the associated equipment which is supplied with the equipment for example, laptop stands,docking stations, keyboard, mouse and carrying bags in order to use the equipment safety and not to expose employees to musculosketal risks. if you supply such equipment to employees how do you distrubite equpment along side instructions for use and if employees have both a laptop and tablet do you provide associated equipment for both items ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

We expect all desks to be useable with laptops 'docking' in and make it the managers responsibility to ensure staff are adhering to requirements. If they are working at home they need to have their own computer or arrangements to set up equipment correctly. Ipads etc are only for meetings, on site audits and are issued not for sole use, employees have laptops or desk tops to compliment - not an easy thing to manage but looking to continual monitoring and awareness raising as well as inspections and audits.
