What we did
After carrying out DSE risk assessments with individuals at Leicestershire police, we discovered that several employees were suffering with musculoskeletal disorders. We decided a more specific report was needed for certain individuals who had not had their issues resolved internally. Our DSE assessors were able to identify problems and recommend solutions, which mostly consisted of specialist chairs, mice and keyboards.
