Iv been having a few issues with health and safety at work but today i stood up and demanded a chair of my own that i can adjust to my needs. And after a year of trying i got one.
I work in an office and where on the PC's over 7 hours a day. Iv been told that i cant have my own desk because "theres a shortage" but when iv been around other teams theyve told me they have plenty of free ones. Theres only about 5 people on my team that dont have there own. I was reading through health and safety/workstation assessment forms and it says that what ever desk you work at should be set up to suit you (not the owner of the desk). Iv worked there over a year and iv never worked at a desk thats suited to me. My line manager said it doesnt matter because im just an AA and im not a higher grade.
Does any else think i should take this futher? I doubt they will do anything but i know that i should be entitled to it.
I dont know how to tell them that its compulsary with out sounding like im bossy, after all there the managers not me.
