Did you know?
Workplace studies have found that employees with ergonomic furniture and/or the correct equipment are less stressed, fatigued and have more energy throughout the day.

Creating an ergonomic work environment for employees can increase productivity by 11%.
Reduce the risk.
Excessive sitting time with uncalibrated desk equipment has been linked to heightened risks of anxiety and depression. DSE Assessments can identify and reduce this risk for your organisation.
DSE Assessments.
Workplace assessments, particularly regarding the Display Screen Equipment and accessories used at work are a legal requirement. This includes laptops, tablets, mobile phones, keyboards etc. including the chair, workstation and surrounding environment. Employees using these for 1 hour or more a day must have a DSE risk assessment.
Hybrid and Homeworkers are now treated the same as work/office-based employees under the DSE Regulations 1992 and Health and Safety at Work Act.
We can either support your current provision for DSE by giving guidance and supplying furniture and IT accessories, or we have a managed service which completely removes the additional workload for your organisation.
Our DSE qualified assessor also has experience in advising and specifying specialist chairs for clients with a diagnosed condition or Musculoskeletal Disorder which allows us to find solutions for employees with more complex requirements.
