DSE Assessor Training

Osteopaths for Industry’s DSE Assessor training courses focus on training key members of your team to carry out DSE Assessments in-house.

Having your own on-site DSE Assessor allows you to better safeguard your employees health, and provides you with a fast, flexible, cost-effective risk management solution. DSE Assessor training takes as little as 1 day for a group of up to 10 delegates.
