Frequently asked questions

Common questions about ergonomic assessments and DSE services in Ireland.

When is a specialist ergonomic assessment appropriate?

A specialist ergonomic assessment may be appropriate for persistent or complex symptoms, non-screen work, return-to-work planning, task-specific demands or cases where a routine DSE assessment identifies the need for further specialist input.

How often should ergonomic assessments be done?

Irish DSE rules do not set a universal two-year expiry. The HSA says a further workstation analysis is required when an employee transfers to a new workstation or significant new equipment, a change of equipment or new technology is introduced. The wider workplace risk assessment must also be reviewed after a significant change or where there is reason to believe it is no longer valid.

Do you offer remote workstation assessments?

Yes, we provide comprehensive remote workstation assessments for home workers and distributed teams. Employees join an assessor-led consultation through MS Teams, with documented findings and practical recommendations. This service is ideal for hybrid and fully remote work arrangements.

What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?

A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that measures an individual's physical abilities related to work tasks. It's often used for return-to-work planning, disability assessments, and determining workplace accommodations. The assessment is delivered by a practitioner whose qualifications and experience match the evaluation required.
