DSE Risk Assessment

Overview

DSE Risk Assessments An interactive risk assessment that is completely User centred. Approximately 20 minutes is spent with each User to discuss personal health risk concerns, workstation issues and job factors. Interactive advice from a professional Registered Member of the Ergonomics society is provided to alleviate any problems identified during the interview including posture correction.
