DSE Assessments, Workstation Risk Assessments

We can give you clear, practical advice to make your workstation safe, comfortable and productive.

Risk assessments for Display Screen Equipment (DSE) users are a legal requirement throughout Europe (as is user training).  This can be achieved in several different ways including:

• our qualified ergonomists conducting DSE assessments of your workstations
• training in-house assessors to conduct DSE assessment of your workstations
• training users to conduct self-assessments of their own workstations.

Benefits of our workstation assessments

We ensure that our clients not only comply with the law but also gain real benefit from the assessments. Our DSE assessments are not a 'tick box' exercise but an opportunity to:

• improve productivity and quality
• reduce sickness
• cut compensation claims
• improve customer service
• ensure in-house staff are deployed in most appropriate way for your business
• improve return on investment in display screen equipment, office furniture and environment.

Our approach to DSE assessments

• Proven.  Based on the UK's Health and Safety Executive Guidance, industry best practice and international ergonomics standards - which we helped develop
• Practical.  Experienced consultants can advise users on simple adjustments to overcome most problems
• Clear and straightforward.  Our results arepresented in an easy to use format.  We agree the level of detail required with you in advance, from summaries of key points to illustrated fully detailed reports
• Prioritised.  To allow you to plan which changes you implement first.
• Customised.  We provide any combination of assessment and training to meet your specific requirements.
• Supportive.  We will continue to work with you to ensure you get the best from your assessment programme.

What do our clients say? 

I just wanted to say that I think the first round of assessments can be judged a success.  Everyone was impressed with Charlie and Catherine's professionalism and knowledge.  Several staff have told me they have been given useful practical advice which they intend to implement which in itself makes the exercise worthwhile.
