DSEasy is a complete DSE Regulation compliance programme. 

These are the 6 main requirements of the DSE Regulations

1) TRAINING THE USER. The Regulations state: ‘Whatever type of checklist is used, employers should ensure workers have received the necessary training before being asked to complete one.’

DSEasy delivers this Training, as well as a Test to record and prove understanding of the Training given.

2) DSE WORKSTATION ASSESSMENT. The Regulations state: ‘Every employer shall perform a suitable and sufficient analysis of those workstations...for the purpose of assessing the health and safety risks to which those persons are exposed in consequence of that use. And reduce risks.’
Under Regulation 2, Guidance paragraph 39, it states that an ergonomic checklist should preferably be completed by users or with their input.

DSEasy delivers the Ergonomic Checklist and will reduce an assessor’s time at each workstation by up to 80%. They know of any issues before visiting the user.

3) The Regulations state: ‘Ensure workstations meet specified minimum requirements.’

DSEasy includes in the ergonomic checklist a series of questions to let you know if you are not complying with this part of the Regulations.

4) The Regulations state ‘Every employer shall so plan the activities of users at work in his undertaking that their daily work on display screen equipment is periodically interrupted by such breaks or changes of activity as reduce their workload at that equipment.’

DSEasy delivers much advice on the benefit of taking short breaks away from DSE work.

5) Eyesight test on request.
DSEasy advises users of their entitlements on your behalf.

6) Provision of Information relating to all matters of health & safety. Includes:

1. What the employer is doing to comply to the Regulations.
2. Advise the users of risks associated with working with DSE.

DSEasy delivers this part of compliance on your behalf.

DSEasy is in 4 parts

1) User Training

2) A user Test to prove that the training provided is effective

3) An ergonomic checklist for users to complete which forms the basis of the DSE assessment.

4) DSEasy Administration, where organisations manage the process of compliance and resolve risk.

Assessment

• Ability to prioritise assessments by high, medium, or low, risk outstanding.
• Ability for a workstation to have checklists and assessments of many users linked to it. Very useful for Hot desking control.
• Test questions answered incorrectly are Issued scored and shown to the assessor who can then give more training.

DSEasy is cost effective because instead of an assessor spending upto an hour at each workstation, (2 hours of Company time) delivering the Training, Provision of Information, advice of risk, recording that the Training has been effective, putting things right at a workstation and then completing a piece of paper, DSEasy advises the assessor what issues are outstanding at any workstation, the user having made what ever changes they could, and the assessor pre advised needs spend only 5 – 10 minutes with each user.

This saves 1.5 hours at each workstation.

If each hour is costed at £20 then we save £30 per workstation for a cost a fraction of that.
