Self AssessmentThe self assessment form can be found in this section. Go through this formal procedure to check everything is set up properly for you. The self assessment should be repeated whenever there is a significant change to your work set up, if you are experiencing any difficulties or if you are pregnant. Staff who share a work desk should make sure they adjust their set up to suit their needs before use each day but do not need to formally complete the self assessment form each time. |
