The ErgoWize DSE Risk Assessment may uncover a small minority of users who are experiencing severe discomfort when operating their workstations. If staff are suffering from some form of musculoskeletal disorder, it may be adviseable to refer them to a physiotherapist or osteopath who can analyse and treat these conditions. Employees who have had to take a leave of absence due to an MSD may require an assessment of their situation and the design of a suitable programme to get them back to work.

This would involve interviewing and examining the employee, assessing their condition, liaising with their manager/HR department and whoever is in charge of their medical condition, e.g. GP,  and then implementing and overseeing an agreed strategy between all parties for a responsible and swift return to work.
