Vehicle/Driver DSE Assessment
Our vehicle/driver DSE assessment is a specialised ergonomic evaluation that focuses on both the employee and their vehicle to ensure proper setup and comfort while driving. This type of assessment is essential for employees who operate cars, vans, lorries, or other machinery where seating is involved.
Specialised Vehicle DSE Assessments for Drivers
Preventing and Managing Pain for Employees Returning to Work and Those Impacted by Driving
These assessments are particularly beneficial for employees experiencing difficulties returning to work or those who find that driving worsen their symptoms. Our vehicle/driver DSE assessments are specifically designed to help prevent and manage pain and discomfort associated with driving.
Assessment Process
During the assessment, one of our qualified assessors will visit a location of your choice to observe the individual in a stationary vehicle. They will identify any areas of concern and provide tailored advice and recommendations to enhance driving comfort. This guidance may include adjustments to the steering wheel and seat, as well as the integration of posture supports when applicable.
After completing the assessment, you will receive a full report detailing findings and recommendations. A vehicle/driver DSE assessment is especially advantageous for anyone whose job involves driving or for those who face long commutes to and from work.
Preventing Discomfort and Long-Term Conditions
Driving often leads to prolonged sedentary positions, which can result in fatigue and vascular issues. You can help prevent long-term health problems from developing by ensuring that your driving posture is as ergonomic as possible,
Our assessments will determine if the vehicle is suitable for the driver, including evaluating seat settings and controls to ensure they can be adjusted to fit the individual’s body size. We also assess whether drivers can safely operate the vehicle and access any tool or equipment storage areas without risking injury.
Additionally, we provide guidance on appropriate breaks during longer journeys and recommendations for suitable vehicle-mounted equipment for those required to complete reports or job sheets while on the road.
