A small charity in Grantham had a number of permanent administrative staff complaining of neck and back pain. A DSE Risk Assessment had been undertaken by the Health & Safety Officer but he was unable to resolve the problems.
It was decided that a DSE & Musculoskeletal Assessment would be the most appropriate intervention as all 4 members of staff could be assessed within an afternoon. CAe undertook a thorough assessment of all the issues associated with the existing health problems.
The solutions were relatively easy to implement and focused on the individual’s posture, chair adjustments or equipment layout. Individualised guidance and advice to the employees were provided and most of the issues were resolved on-site the same day with minimal expenditure on new equipment
