Healthy Working in the time of COVID-19 and working from home
Although HSE advised there was no increased level of risk for those working at home temporarily , the rules on long-term home working haven’t changed and the risks still need to be controlled, with a workstation assessment being required. Gallagher, in partnership with Cardinus, is able to offer access to remote DSE assessment tools and generally assist in the preparation of employees returning to the physical office, whilst also offering staff e-learning modules such as:
- Comfort and posture
- Fire and electrical hazards
- Well-being
- Safe driving
- Returning to the workplace
- Personal safety
How Healthy Working could help your company
Step 1 – Ergonomics e-learning and self-assessment
Each of your employees will receive e-learning that targets their individual needs. Specialist content is provided that encourages measurable behaviour change. An integrated self-assessment allows for further dedicated feedback. Most of your risk will be resolved at this stage.
Step 2 – Communication and nudges
Healthy Working provides video-based stretching exercises, smart phone applications, hot-desking advice, and real-time feedback and support, ensuring your DSE programme is proactive an encourages your employees to participate and take ownership of their comfort.
Step 3 – PACE
You and your DSE team can use the powerful management module, PACE, to resolve the small amount of outstanding risk that cannot be managed by the employee directly. This ensures intervention is targeted, appropriate and results-driven. The main benefit of this approach is that all relevant information is held in one place, providing full reporting history for your health and safety duty of care, and ensuring DSE actions are tracked.

As they complete the e-learning and self-assessment we will prompt them for feedback (good and bad), and save their comments into your PACE management module for you to review.
The evaluation will provide:
