Services & Solutions

We see your working situation as a two sided coin:

On the one side there is the external environment/workstation which should be designed to suit the individual employee in such a way that they can work in the safest and most efficient way possible ie, in the classic definition of Ergonomics, suiting the task to the person. This has the obvious win-win of a safe and comfortable environment for the employee and maximum efficiency and productivity for the employee. Comfortable and healthy workers are good workers.

The other, and equally important side of the coin is that of the worker within the workstation. It has been our experience and is our firmly held view that employees have to take personal responsibility for their working postures and patterns. We have found that the best way to achieve this is through building understanding of the factors and processes involved in the use of the DSE workstation.

The HSE places equal emphasis on employers responsibility to provide training as well as a safe working environment.

To this end we offer the following range of services:

• Basic DSE risk assessment in line with HSE guidelines, with the aim of identifying and reducing risk before the development of problems. (appropriate in the case of simple tasks and no current neuro-musculo-skeletal (NMS) problems)
• Detailed Workstation Assessment and Case Specific Consulting incorporating and addressing individual specific case history and task requirements. (in cases where there is either an existing or recently developing NMS problem)
• Seminar type training sessions aimed at educating groups of people on the processes and factors involved in DSE usage and the importance of individual responsibility.
• Small group training sessions which focus on equipping individuals with activities and practical tools to address and prevent future NMS problems.
• Consulting and advising on design and layout of workstation and offices environments for output optimization and risk minimization.

Our aim is to add value to your organization by working in partnership, getting an understanding of what the needs really are, and from there tailoring the service (incorporating existing systems where appropriate) to meet your specific requirements.

For examples of how we have done this with companies ranging from a multinational corporation and a SME freight company, see our client case studies page.
