What is the difference between a Specialist DSE Assessment and the other DSE assessments offered?
The outcomes of all our DSE assessments is the same - with bespoke, detailed and educated recommendations provided to any risks identified. However, our specialist DSE assessments are conducted by qualified external medical professionals or ergonomists whereas our standard and advanced DSE assessments are conducted by internal, DSE trained staff. At the specialist DSE assessment, no adjustments will be made to existing workstation equipment.
Why would I need a Specialist DSE Assessment?
If you would prefer to have a medical professional, with a high level of medical experience to undertake the assessment, then the specialist DSE assessment would be the one for you. These assessments also take into account further work-related scenarios outside of the workstation environment by assessing access and transportation requirements.
What happens before, during and after my Standard DSE Assessment?
Once your Specialist DSE assessment is ordered, we will contact you to book a date and time for the assessment which is convenient for you. Alternatively, we will pass your contact details onto the third party conducting the assessment who will get in touch to arrange the assessment.
On the day of the assessment, an external medical professional will conduct the remote assessment in which they will discuss any physical complaints in greater depth and analyse your workstation and full working enviornment including access to buildings and transportation requirements. Every aspect of the working environment will be assessed in depth and observations of working posture and equipment will take place.
Following the Specialist DSE assessment, we shall provide a full, detailed report which highlights any risks identified and recommendations to action. If applicable, a quote shall also be provided for any product recommendations.
