<p>Defra designs work and workplaces to adapt to the needs of the individual so far
as is reasonably practicable.</p><p> </p><p>Defra’s Health and Safety Policy, and
Management System, focuses on the principles of prevention of all work-related harm.
Work tasks and activities of the individual are risk assessed by the business using
a framework of policies and good practice guidance (based on legislation and Health
and Safety Executive legal guidance) to develop safe systems of work. Line managers
are responsible for ensuring that work roles and tasks are suited to the individual
and that employees are competent to carry out tasks and roles safely and without risk
to physical or psychological health.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of Defra workplaces
provide a range of flexible workspaces, furniture and equipment to suit the work activity
of the team or individual. Bespoke or specialist items are provided if an employee
requires personal adaptations for health and safety purposes or workplace adjustments
in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.</p>
