Our straightforward and immediate access online DSE assessments. Your assessments have the added advantage of being reviewed by a qualified ergonomist before your report is sent to you.
RAPP push-pull risk assessment tool – Spreadsheet version
RAPP is the HSE’s latest musculoskeletal risk assessment tool. It provides a much awaited standardised framework for assessing push-pull risks. Our spreadsheet version is quick and easy to use, streamlining your risk assessment process.

Job rotation can be a useful way to manage musculoskeletal risks. Our Excel spreadsheet is a quick and simple tool that allows you to enter ART (upper-limb assessment) scores and rearrange tasks to avoid, as far as possible, consecutive tasks with the same risk factors.
Behavioural risk checklist
Our unique interactive and saveable pdf checklist enables you to identify factors in your work activities / workplace that could increase the likelihood of people ‘doing things the wrong way’ – i.e. errors, mistakes and violations.
Human Centred Organisation: ISO 27500 online assessment

The assessment takes about 5 to 10 minutes and we send you a personalised report sheet with your results displayed graphically. Why no give it a go – and to make things a bit more interesting, get senior management and shop-floor staff to do it separately and then compare results!
