DSE Risk Assessment

As every DSE software provider manages risk assessing staff differently it is here that potential buyers can make the greatest return on their investment or just have a system that creates work rather than reduce it.

ErgoWize is the most effective DSE risk assessment software currently available with the following benefits:

User risk resolution

The ErgoWize Risk Assessment can be configured so that potential resolutions to user concerns pop up during the questionnaire, reducing the need for any follow-up action. Organisations using ErgoWize have on average reduced the amount of time spent resolving risk assessment issues by between 60% and 90% compared with their previous process. This includes a number of customers who have upgraded to ErgoWize from an alternative solution.

With much of the risk being dealt with by the end user, Health & Safety staff can focus on those DSE users with outstanding concerns.

Variable risk weightings

ErgoWize incorporates a simple risk weighting to each assessment question; high, medium or low. This helps ensure that staff requiring more urgent attention are seen quicker as Health & Safety staff can prioritise their workload. These weightings can easily be adjusted by the administrators within the O-LAS management system.


Customisable assessments

We have designed the ErgoWize Risk Assessment so that customers can adapt and amend the questionnaire at any time, even post roll-out, to reflect changing environments, technologies and the unique nature of their own operation. The risk assessment is dynamic in that filter questions are used so that users can skip any irrelevant questions. For example, users without laptops would not have to complete the section that relates to this equipment.

ErgoWize Ultra includes specialist risk assessments specifically for Homeworkers and for New & Expectant Mothers.
