Homeworker Risk Management Service Launched

ACS is proud to introduce a new Homeworker Risk Management service.

The launch of this service means that ACS can now provide a comprehensive risk management package for Homeworkers. An employer's legal duty towards his employees is exactly the same regardless of where the employee works. Therefore, homeworkers are subject to the same requirements as office-based staff, for example, risk assessments, PAT testing and DSE assessments. This package will reduce the cost and inconvenience of organising a number of separate contractors to ensure total legal compliance.

'PAT' testing is also available on a standalone basis. Why not have 'PAT' testing carried out at the same time as your DSE Assessment?
