ErgoWize EssentialSkillz DSE Software

ErgoWize is the most effective DSE risk assessment software currently available. Whilst training content does not vary too much across the market, every DSE software provider manages risk assessing staff slightly differently. It is here and in the administration/management systems that potential buyers can make the greatest return on their investment or lumber themselves with a system that creates work rather than saves it.

The financial savings have far exceeded original estimates. Its use has impressed senior managers who had not previously appreciated how the implementation of effective H&S systems can save time and money. H&S Manager, UK Police Constabulary

Established DSE software providers all offer some kind of user risk resolution to reduce the amount of DSE issues requiring follow up action by Health & Safety staff. How successful this functionality is varies greatly across the market. Organisations using ErgoWize enjoy a reduction of between 66% and 90% on the amount of time spent resolving risk assessment issues compared with their previous processes. This includes a number of customers who have upgraded to ErgoWize from a competitor solution.

As a lot of the low and medium risk is dealt with by the end user Health & Safety staff have more time to spend helping DSE users with high risk issues such as pain related symptoms.

Risk Weightings

ErgoWize helps ensure that staff requiring more urgent attention are seen quicker. This is achieved by applying a simple risk weighting to each assessment question; high, medium or low. Users are unaware of the risk weightings applied to questions but in conjunction with O-LAS, the Compliance Management System that powers ErgoWize, Health & Safety staff can prioritise their workload so that staff deemed to be high risk are seen first.

Health & Safety staff can easily adjust the risk weightings attached to questions from within O-LAS. For more details on O-LAS please click on the link on the left titled Tracking and Reporting.

Customisation

EssentialSkillz recognise that environments, methodologies and process vary between organisations. 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 and the unique nature of their own operation. ErgoWize makes use of filter questions during the assessment so that users skip irrelevant question sets within the questionnaire. For example, users without laptops do not have to complete the section that relates to this specific type of equipment.

There are no limitations set by EssentialSkillz with regard to tailoring ErgoWize to meet the dynamic or specific needs of your workplace. Environmental, Health & Safety Manager EMEA, Xilinx Inc
