Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to comply with principle (d) of schedule 1 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
Answered by Anthony Browne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department for Transport adopts smart working principles ensuring its workplaces are designed appropriately for the intended tasks. Each of its offices has a balanced mix of workspaces and considers accessibility for colleagues with additional needs.
Workplace adjustments are used to remove barriers, or disadvantages, enabling anyone with a disability or health condition to do their job. This can be a change to HR-related policies, working arrangements or the equipment provided to do a job.
Office workstations are provided with a varying range of adjustable equipment designed to cater for the majority of individuals.
For operational areas of the organisation, risk assessment processes are in place to assess the varying range of tasks and reduce health and safety risks to our colleagues.
