How to carry out DSE workstation assessments (DVD)

 

Visual DSE assessor kit

We’ve been using the DSE assessor kit for a week, it’s brilliant…
Emily R, Large County Council, Midlands

We had been using the HSE checklist and some inherited diagrams, I didn’t realize that we had got so many things wrong. This is really helpful and we've got good feedback from the line managers
Gemma P, City Bank, London

We received the pack last week, and used it in a workshop yesterday with the line managers, and DSE assessors. In the space of 3 hours we have updated our skills as assessors, replaced a ramshackle collection of documents and put in place a system using the solution matrix. Overall we can see ourselves saving a fortune.
Dave P, Facilities Manager, Housing Association

The Visual DSE Asssessor Kit

Many DSE workstation assessors will be given a DSE checklist, normally a derivative of the Health and Safety Executive checklist. This is then interpreted in a number of different ways, depending on the skill of the assessor. Some will be given information sheets, and other guidance,but too often it is poorly presented which makes using it very difficult for the DSE assessor and for those being assessed. If English is not the first language the problem is compounded, but with a visual checklist misunderstanding is minimised.

Most assessment forms are ambiguous.For example, what is meant by correct posture? What is a good typing position? To combat this and make the assessors tools consistent, concrete and clear we have designed the Visual DSE assessors’ kit as a holistic tool, which can be used by all staff responsible for DSE workstation assessments.

The Visual DSE assessor pack is designed to fulfil an organisations requirements in relation to DSE assessments. The schematic belows shows how the kit works. with further explanation listed in the bullet points about each step.

 

                                                                                               

 How the klt works

  • The assessor is firstly, presented with a short film outlining the purpose of the assessment, and how to use the checklist and supporting materials. He or she should then be able to use the assessment checklist with confidence. At any time the assessor can refer to a short visual guide for further explanation.
  •  The assessor can provide information and training to the home worker, mobile worker, or hot desker at this stage. The information is in the form of an information sheet. This can be adapted or reworded where necessary.
  • During the assessment the assessor can refer to the guide for suggestions for typical problems raised or if they think a piece of equipment needs to be changed. For example, if a person reports pain in the forearm, the assessor should not assume a new mouse is necessary, they should first go through the procedure in the guide, this is a series of checks. If a new mouse is required, the guide will advise how to determine what type should be trialled
  •  At the end of the assessment the user must be given an information summary, this is provided as a word file (customisable), or a PDF
  • Finally, for the company to be proactive a 10 minute presentation is included that can be given by the assessor, trainer or line manager on posture. This will help the organisation remain proactive and staff healthy

Cost £99.00 + P&P £6.50  + VAT (Special introductory price will rise to £199.00 + vat as of 31st May 2012)
