Testimonial from DSE Assessor Training
"I can highly recommend the DSE Assessment Training Course by RSP. This certificated course was thorough and well structured. The presentation was clear with plenty of opportunity for questions. Having reviewed the issues involved in computer use, we were then presented with work set-ups and then asked to critically review possible issues. Samples of equipment that are available for alternative computer set-ups were provided. This allowed participants to “play around with them.” A handy manual was provided and included sample assessment forms, scenarios of possible work situations, and a history of civil claims related to DSE. Everything was done to give you the necessary skills as well as forms for doing a DSE assessment in the workplace. The venue in Peterborough (in the Cathedral precint) was very easy to get to. It was great to be in a city center but away from all the hustle and bustle. There is an excellent support service provided that is valid for a year after taking the course. If you have any questions/problems, you can contact Diane. And she does respond!" Elizabeth Hughes, Time to Unwind
DSE Risk Assessments
What does the law require?
If your employees regularly use computers at work then you are required by the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations to assess their workstations and working routine to ensure they are not at risk from repetitive strain injuries (RSI) or other work related upper limb disorders.
We will show you ways to comply with the law, be proactive in identifying situations that may cause harm and enable staff to be in control of their workstations.
How can I comply?
We can carry out your DSE assessments. One of our qualified DSE Risk Assessors will visit your premises reviewing up to 16 staff, that you have selected as users under the DSE Regulations, and their work stations, per day.
Key areas of your assessment will include:
- A presentation to your identified staff about the company's policy and procedures; including proactive monitoring for eye tests and reporting
- Discussion on the importance of posture, work routines and the interaction between person and computer
- Explanation of the purpose of self assessment
- In-depth individual risk assessments on each member of staff and their work station covering posture; interaction with DSE; general well-being; a comprehensive review of chair, workstation, lighting, environment, peripherals, computer and work routines
- Agreed individual action planning and follow-up activity
- Detailed report with recommendations and an action plan

On-line DSE Risk Assessments
RSP Safety Services Ltd is working in partnership with Workrite (a division of Posturite (UK) Ltd - the market leader in ergonomic workplace solutions).
Together we are the only supplier of products, software and training in the UK today.
Using WorkRite RSP, we will provide an online training and assessment package to enable you to fulfil the requirements under the regulations to provide information and training to employees and to carry out an assessment of each individual workstation.
The advantage of using WorkRite RSP is that we are completely independent, we take time to understand your systems, how you work, your particular challenges, and will be proactive in dealing with DSE issues becoming apparent through the assessment, as each project will be managed by an experienced workstation assessor. We have NO minimum number of users.
The fee for the service is based on the purchase of a licence per user and setup fees to Posturite, administration and consultancy time. This will be calculated for each project.
