Posted By David J Bristow Hi Marie I had a conversation with a colleague who has a back injury and requires a suitable chair to give support. This colleague is classed as disabled and under the “access back to work scheme”, details of which you will receive from your local Job Centre Plus, is now in possession of chair that was supplied to him (not our company) through this scheme F.O.C.. If you have an employee who has a disabilitating back condition whether or not they are classed as disabled, then they can apply to the Job Centre Plus for an “access to work” (ATW1) form. When they have completed their individual details and returned the form, then they may be assigned an “access to work consultant” who will visit them in their workplace and undertake an assessment. If after an assessment it is found that they qualify for assistance then they will (or should) take possession of an appropriate chair for their condition. This service also takes into account other equipment that the employee may reqire in addition to the chair. What contribution the employer will have to pay may vary from nothing to 50% of the cost. I believe that the chair will then belong to the individual employee, although I am not sure what would happed in the event of the employee leaving and the employer has made a contribution the costs. I hope it all makes sense, and if you do get sorted then would you please email the result to me. Many thanks Regards David B
