Talk to your health and safety person to see if they are able to provide you a seat. A nice conversation can sometimes go a much longer way towards a good resolution than quoting rules and regulations at them.

We were told by our Union that a seat of some description must be provided for everyone, irrespective of whether that individual had a disability or not. It would take the form of an actual chair, or a "perch", which is apparently something that you hook your buttocks onto.

If you're standing for long periods in one position and are unable to move around, you run the risk of developing varicose veins. Ask to see the company risk assessment regarding till work.
