EssentialSkillz technical team have written a series of White Papers on DSE software. These valuable documents give you high quality information, and hints and tips on how to choose the best and most appropriate system for your organisation, roll it out effectively and successfully manage and resolve DSE risk assessment data. The various White Papers cover the following:

Which online DSE system is right for my business?

A quick google search reveals around ten providers of online DSE training and risk assessment solutions in the UK. How different are these systems from one another and what factors should a Health & Safety department consider before choosing one for their own particular organisation?

• Introduction to and brief history of the industry
• Factors to consider in relation to course length, structure and customisation
• DSE training in relation to launching a wider scale online H&S training programme
• Importance of a well designed online DSE risk assessment
• Discussion of benefits of user resolution of risk and how to encourage this to happen
• Introduction to DSE management systems and factors to consider when purchasing
• Implications of managing DSE risk on the scale that an online system allows

The changing role of the DSE Assessor

Given that staff are now expected to take more individual responsibility for training, undertake a self risk assessment and even resolve a degree of DSE risk themselves, how does this new approach to managing workstation safety affect the role of DSE Assessors? Do we still need them given the amount of responsibility that now rests with DSE users and the amount of self help available?

Conclusions of HSE DSE report 2008

The HSE (via H&S Labs in Buxton) has recently published a DSE Research document:
RR628 - Evaluation of the success in Great Britain of the Directive on minimum safety and health requirements for work with display screen equipment.

The research was part of a wider study commissioned in various Member States to contribute to an EU working group studying the effectiveness and efficiency of existing EU health and safety legislation.

Scorm integration

While it is relatively easy to integrate the ErgoWize DSE course into any SCORM compliant LMS, it is not so easy to provide an online risk assessment to learners. However, unlike our competitors, EssentialSkillz can provide full blown, real-time "SCORM Integration".
