Why Train In-House DSE Assessors?

Significant Cost Savings

Eliminate the recurring costs of hiring external consultants for standard yearly risk assessments and minor workstation adjustments.

Rapid Response

Address employee pain, discomfort, or ergonomic complaints immediately internally, rather than waiting weeks for external lead times.

Employee Wellbeing

Proactively identifying posture and equipment issues reduces Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) and directly decreases employee absenteeism.

Insights

Essential guidance on VDU compliance and Assessor certification for Irish employers.

HSA Guidance

According to the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations, a "Competent Person" must have sufficient training, experience, and knowledge. Our Level 1 and 2 courses are designed to meet this exact criteria for 2026 standards.

Liability Protection: Trained assessors help mitigate insurance risks associated with MSK claims.

Yes. Under Chapter 5 of Part 2 of the 2007 General Application Regulations, employers must ensure that every employee's workstation is assessed by a competent person. Training your own staff is the most efficient way to maintain this compliance.
Technically, they refer to the same thing. VDU (Visual Display Unit) is the older term, while DSE (Display Screen Equipment) is the modern terminology used by the HSA. Our training covers both to ensure full regulatory alignment.
Absolutely. The 2026 DSE standards require home-office assessments to be as rigorous as those in the office. Our courses include specific modules on virtual assessment techniques and hybrid-work ergonomics.
Yes. All successful participants receive a KOS Ergonomic Academy Certificate. This serves as documented proof for HSA inspectors and insurance auditors that your staff are "Competent Persons."
Our Level 1 course is an intensive 1-day live virtual workshop. It is designed to be time-efficient while providing all the clinical and legal knowledge required to start performing assessments immediately.
Level 1 (Basic DSE Assessor) is designed for beginners. It is ideal for those who are new to health and safety or ergonomics, providing the essential foundation needed to start conducting standard assessments.

Level 2 (Advanced & Refresher) is for existing assessors. To remain compliant and fully qualified to carry out assessments, your certification must be kept up to date. After 3 years, you must complete the Level 2 course to refresh your certificate. This advanced course also dives deeper into complex cases, medically-graded equipment selection, and advanced postural analysis to handle difficult employee ergonomic requirements.
Yes. Every attendee receives the KOS Assessor Toolkit, which includes professional audit templates, postural diagrams, and equipment checklists to use within their organization.

The clinical depth of this course is incredible. Unlike standard H&S training, KOS explained the 'why' behind the posture. I feel much more confident assessing complex employee ergonomic requirements.
