Hello, I would like to introduce myself to the forum. Happy to meet you all. I have a question that you may have advice or experience in. We have recently completed a DSE Assessment for staff in one of our buildings. The recommendations from the DSE Report said that this person should have a specific Ergonomic Chair and a new ergonomic keyboard. We have since found out that the staff member is not actually a member of our staff but is in an insourced team on fixed term contracts, which run to the end of June 2015. Should my organisation pay for this chair ? or should it be the employers of this person from this outsourced team who pay ? The member of staff would be able to take the chair with them when they leave our organisation and use it elsewhere. These chairs are expensive and whilst we have a duty of care, if we decided to do this for all of these people we could end up paying hundreds/thousands of pounds on equipment for staff who are only in our buildings for a few months at a time. Thank you Marco.

Thank you for your response Tomkins26432. I will look into that, as I fear this may become a more and more common problem for me going forward. Marco C.
