As a result of the global pandemic, businesses have had to adapt to work in different environments and with staff spread across numerous locations.
This means that everyone needs to change their approach to DSE and how awareness training and assessments are conducted and recorded.
Two health and safety experts joined us to discuss best practices when managing DSE in hybrid working environments.
