my employers have said they have a duty of care to us, even when working from home. We’re all getting health and safety assessments as they appreciate some are working from make shift desks (mainly dining tables!) and, maybe, trying to fend off back pain claims. Said they’re going to try and deal with what they can.Anyone struggling already?
My job is not usually able to be done from home, but work wifi enabled a lot of desktops at the end of last week so Im at home in my lounge/diner with a desktop, 2 monitors etc sitting next to my husband and his two laptops. Sitting on a wooden chair that is killing my spine! There are now 4 of us at home, us and our, 22 yo and 19yo. I work in a call centre but doing admin, I go on the phones when its very busy which it was on Friday lunchtime.
My husband works for the MOD so has to go upstairs to make phone calls privately.
We are in the middle of having our bathroom done, no shower in as yet, lots of banging, drilling, toilet out of use this morning.
Waiting to hear if my husband and 19 yo daughter are classed as extremely vulnerable, would have thought so but its not clear from the gov list.
Im glad to be able to still work, but its not easy at all. How is anyone else getting on?
It’s not ideal, but hopefully you can muddle through.
keep smiling and stay safe xx
