When a checklist isn't enough

A checklist catches the common, easy-to-fix issues. It won't resolve persistent pain, a return-to-work case, or a complex setup — and it doesn't satisfy the per-employee DSE assessment that SI 299/2007 requires for screen-based staff.

For those, Usafety delivers proper DSE assessments (remote or onsite) and clinically-led ergonomic assessments.
