Overview
Office workers spend an average of 8 hours per day at computer workstations, making DSE assessment critical for preventing musculoskeletal disorders, eye strain, and fatigue. This module provides self-assessment tools that empower workers to optimise their own workstation ergonomics.
Guided assessment workflows evaluate chair height, monitor position, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting levels, and break patterns. Photographic evidence capabilities enable ergonomic specialists to provide remote advice and recommendations.
Eye test entitlement tracking ensures workers receive required vision assessments at company expense. Integration with procurement systems enables direct ordering of ergonomic equipment such as footrests, monitor arms, and ergonomic keyboards.
