I would have also thought that bringing a chair in could contribute to bringing your own equipment onto a client site which could also help IR35.

Should be said though... The client still has to carry out a risk assessment on the equipment being used regardless who supplies it. If you or permie supplies own chair you can only do so if the client carries out a risk assessment and makes sure it conforms to all the relevant acts and agrees. A client can't just sit back and ignore people violating H&S on their site. They are involved.
No idea if you could potentially sue a client for letting you use a crap chair and causing injury. I would imagine if the risk assessment said it was an issue and they let it continue or the risk assessment wasn't done properly they could.
I would imagine it would be almost unheard of for an employee to supply their own chair.Comment

I only asked them about the chairs because of their design."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
