We have a member of staff intending to travel to Johannesburg on business. Our company policy is to conduct a risk assement on each travel destination.
Our head of security has suggested that we provide the traveller with personal security advice for the trip and also provide a close protection chauffeur service for the duration of the trip.
The traveller is from South Africa and does not feel he needs security as he knows the area.
As an employer can we insist on an employee using any security services we suggest?
If the employee signs a disclaimer to say he is happy to travel without a personal chauffer have we discharged our duty of care responsibilities?
The traveller is combining the trip with a few days holiday. Does the duty of care responsibility apply for the days the employee is on holiday?

Thank you to all for taking the time to reply. I was unawre the replies would be posted in the forum section hence the delay in my reply.
The doors were installed because we have recently sublet part of a floor and now need to secure our demise from the new sub tenants demise. Previously our space was secured by autmoatic sliding doors leading from the lift lobby, we know have to share access trough these doors with the subtenant.
The doors are not fire doors this was cleared with the District Surveyor before ordering them.
We are currently investigating the options for installing automatic door openings on the doors.
Michael - I have not heard of a free swing device can you advise where i can find out more about this?

We have recently installed new access control doors in our offices. We have one employee who suffers from MS and is finding it difficult to open the doors due to the fact they are full height and heavy. We have adjusted the door closures to make the doors as easy to open as possible. If the employee is still struggling to open the doors are we obliged to modify all doors so they open automatically?

Staff in our office use Bloomberg market data PC's in addition to their normal desktop PC's. The Bloomberg PC's are shared between 2 members of staff (due to cost). To date the Bloomberg PC's have been placed on monitor stands that staff can swivel between each desks. Following a recent health and safety inspection by the corporation of London we were advised that this solution was unsafe and contravened the DSE regulations. Can you advise on what the legal position is in relation to such equipment? Have any other members encountered similar problems?
Regards
