Although we have touched on this before, we make no apologies for issuing a few key points by way of a reminder about potential employee-related issues if you’re moving offices.
Through our extensive experience as professional office removals experts, we know that:
- Aspects of your employee liability cover may be at risk if you ask your employees to help with packing and moving items as part of an office move.
- Depending upon the circumstances, you might be committing an offence if you ask staff to participate in activities that are outside of their usual duties and which are also potentially dangerous – particularly if you haven’t provided things like gloves, heavy shoes and perhaps hard-hats and other protective equipment. Carrying heavy objects up and down stairs is one such example and do be warned, the law takes this area seriously.
