Ergonomic Assessment and Training for Remote Workers

A typical modern workstation comprises of a desktop computer or laptop i.e. Visual Display Unit (VDU) or Display Screen Equipment (DSE), chair, telephone and desk. Under the legislation, it is the employer’s duty to examine and assess the standards of health & safety of an employee’s workstation and take any corrective action necessary. Similarly, a competent person must carry out the ergonomic risk assessment of an employee’s workstation. A person is deemed to be competent if he or she possesses sufficient training, experience and knowledge appropriate to conduct a workstation assessment.

As an employer, you are legally obliged to carry out Ergonomic Assessments of your Employees workspaces & DSE Training. To ensure legislative compliance, we are teaming up with recognised field leaders, Adare Human Resource Management, to provide our Members with Ergonomic Assessments and DSE Training.

DSE training
Adare Human Resource Management will provide you with online training for all relevant employees to ensure that they understand and manage their workstations correctly and in a responsible manner in line with the legislation and recommendations from the Health & Safety Authority (HSA).

Employees will be taken through a series of exercises to help identify potential risks.

Ergonomic Assessments
After the completion of the DSE training, employees will then take part in an online ergonomic risk assessment.

An individual report will be produced for each employee. The report, which will be sent directly to the employer, will include guidance on corrective actions that should be taken, as provided by Adare Human Resource Management’s Senior Health & Safety Consultant.
