What you need to know about homeworking: A conversation with Alison Thomson

“Safety is not about paperwork, it’s about people” 

This week on the HSE Network podcast we shared our conversation with Alison Thomson of The Safety Elf; Alison is passionate about all things ergonomics, particularly for those working at desks. Our conversation dived into the world of homeworking. You will learn more about why:

• In Alison’s experience, home-working set-ups have actually gotten worse since the pandemic
• Hot-desking may not be all it’s cracked up to be
• Being a fidgeter may actually be great for long term safety and health for desk workers
