Healthy Workstations Access to Work Service
With over 25 years of experience, we specialise in providing support for the DWP Access to Work (A2W) Scheme, offering an extensive range of ergonomic equipment to A2W clients across the UK. Our vast selection and expertise allow us to confidently recommend solutions tailored to individuals of all body types, helping to address posture-related challenges and enhance comfort throughout the workday.
How it Works
Access to Work offers financial support in the form of a grant to help towards the additional employment costs incurred by disabled people in or entering paid employment. It aims to help overcome work related obstacles resulting from their disability. It is available to unemployed, employed and self-employed people in any job whether it’s full-time, part-time, permanent or temporary.
Healthy Workstations have been supplying specialist equipment through the Access to Work Scheme since its inception and throughout the changes to the scheme. We continue to provide an exceptional level of service and support by working closely with the AtoW assessors ensuring a holistic approach. Our team receive full product training to ensure they offer the best solution for your needs.

Steps to Success
Step 1: Initial Contact and Assessment
Begin by completing our Access to Work Assessment Form. This allows us to gather your basic measurements and understand the challenges you’re facing in creating a comfortable workspace.

Once we receive your form, we’ll arrange a brief telephone consultation to discuss your workplace needs in more detail and address any factors that might affect our recommendations.

Following our consultation, we’ll send you a Quotation via email. This document outlines our recommended ergonomic solutions and provides a breakdown of the costs, all at our discounted A2W rate.
Step 4:
Reviewing your Recommendations
You can then review our recommendations with your employer or Health & Safety representative to ensure they fit your specific work environment and requirements.

Ordering your Equipment/Assessment
Have you received Access to Work funding approval, and need product assistance?
In some cases you may have already had a visit from an Assessor and received a report outlining the equipment that you need to enable you to work in comfort, such as a specialist chair, desk or other items.
The report may also include suggestions of where to purchase.
This is just a guide, and you are able to purchase your recommended items from anywhere you choose, but it is important to stay within budget.
Selecting your supply partner
At HWS we understand that the funding application process can seem daunting. Our aim is to take some of the strain by effortlessly organising the selection and installation of your equipment for you. Why choose us? Apart from our 26+ years’ experience of supporting individuals managing disabilities or chronic health concerns:
- We can usually Price match the A2W quotes you already have, so you don’t have to order from lots of different companies.
- Our expert Assessors are on hand to answer questions – before you order.
- We are a specialist ergonomic supplier with a large range of Seating, Desks, and desktop equipment – one company to deal with, making it easier to arrange deliveries and installation appointments.
- After-sales care – Everything you need in one place – for advice, breakdowns, or warranty concerns.

Funding approved by your Access to Work Advisor – but no Assessment – Not sure what you need?
Don’t worry, we are perfectly placed to help!
The specialist chair ranges that we offer can be tailored to meet every need. For complex cases, or if you simply need reassurance that the chair will be right for you, we will arrange our own assessment. This enables us to understand the daily challenges you may encounter, take measurements to make sure the chair will fit you, and explore the working space to give immediate help and advice on the equipment you already have in place. Our recommendations will be in a report so you can be happy with everything before you proceed.

“The perfect chair: Excellent company with wonderful staff. Anne who is the director, could not do enough to help. We purchased the Grahl “duo back” chair with head rest, a pillow and a lovely foot rest. They arranged delivery and ensured everything was set up right. Will definitely come back for more items.
