Would anyone have a Health & Safety Policy Statement on this subject which includes a list of equipment to be provided by the employer to the employee working from home? I appreciate that any employer must be able to demonstrate compliance with the DSE regulations as explained in L26 and the subsequent HSE Homeworkers guide but I would be interested to hear how others has manged this most difficult of matters and the solution you have found. Many thanks for your assistance AIB
