Workplace Regs – condition of seating over course of years [Liability]
The claimant worked on the night shift at a care home from March 2001. There were long periods at night during which the claimant had to provide surveillance, which involved sitting for substantial periods of time on a landing within the care home. There were some other duties, including hourly visits to the dormitories, which broke up the periods of time when they were required to just sit.
