I have completed a basic DSE assessor’s course and feel the same. I offer the basic advice on chair set up, desk organisation etc. I have issued a few document holders (fab horizontal ones from Posturite!) and I say to people give it a week and let me know. I have agreed with the powers that be here that if that doesn’t solve someone’s issues then we call in a "professional" and it is a more complex field than I feel prepared for. So far we have had to call in someone for a guy who is very tall so the standard equipment doesn’t fit someone with a pre-existing back issue and someone with pre-existing carpel tunnel problems.

Whislt I can undertake the basic DSE Assessment, I involve our Occupational Health service provider for those who have underlying medical issues However for the users who do not find the standard provision comfiortable, you can raise the desk height --even for non-adjustable desks by placing riser blocks etc--should be OK unless the users also has other underlying health related issues.
