Consultancy

For clients requiring on-site evaluation of their staff and workstations, Trevor can provide professional assessors, with the skills and experience to train staff in how to use their workstations safely, assess them in-situ and identify potential areas of risk. Assessment data will be recorded and analysed with fully documented recommendations of appropriate action.

In-house assessors are also trained to reduce future dependence on external agencies. Training will be adapted to reflect your company culture, existing processes, furniture and equipment.
