Making the Right Call for Your Business
Every Irish employer with screen-based staff faces the same question eventually: do we empower an in-house team to carry out DSE assessments, or do we bring in outside expertise? Get it wrong and you're either paying for a service you didn't need, or relying on a system that fails to actually manage and close out employee risks. This session cuts through the sales pitches on both sides and gives you a straight, practical comparison to ensure your program is robust, resourced properly, and built for long-term success.
The Legal Baseline
We break down exactly what Irish law actually requires of a "competent person." Learn why true compliance means having the practical ability to adjust equipment correctly and building a closed-loop system that actually manages risk—rather than just ticking a compliance box.
Internal vs External Models
Both paths offer distinct advantages when executed correctly. Learn how to successfully resource an in-house team (identifying the right employee profile and ensuring dedicated KPI time), and discover when to leverage external experts who act as "Health Coaches" with cost-saving equipment knowledge.
Hybrid & Complex Cases
Discover where each model genuinely excels. We cover routine assessments versus complex cases, how to navigate the unique internal friction of remote-worker setups, and explore the highly effective hybrid approach many Irish employers land on.
