Make It Easy To Carry Out Display Screen Equipment Risk Assessments Across Your Organisation

Reduce Admin Time And Improve The Consistency Of DSE Risk Assessments And Improvements

Managing Display Screen Equipment (DSE) risk across an organisation can be difficult — especially with hybrid working, varied home setups and large numbers of employees.

Traditional approaches often rely on manual assessments and generic training that don’t reflect how people actually work.

It’s now easy to carry out DSE risk assessments more consistently and provide practical, personalised guidance based on real workstation setups.

Human Focus now helps organisations assess posture, screen use and workstation setup, while delivering training that is directly relevant to the individual — not just generic advice.

Prepare Managers For New Employment Rights Act 2025 Changes

New employment legislation coming into force in April 2026 significantly changes the legal risk profile of everyday management decisions.

From probationary reviews and absence conversations to flexible working requests and scheduling decisions, getting these wrong — or handling them inconsistently — can now lead directly to tribunal exposure.

The new Human Focus Employment Rights Act 2025 online training course helps organisations prepare managers for these changes and apply the requirements consistently in day-to-day decisions.

This short Awareness Training for Managers course provides a clear, practical understanding of what the Act introduces, what changes in April 2026 and how it affects real workplace scenarios.

It covers key areas such as day-one employment rights, probationary period risks, flexible working, zero-hours scheduling, harassment prevention and whistleblowing responsibilities.

Every course completion is tracked and date-stamped within the Human Focus system, giving your organisation auditable evidence of training for compliance, audits and tribunal defence.

Use New AI Tool To Make It Easier To Carry Out Manual Handling Risk Assessments

Manual handling risk assessments are often difficult to carry out properly. They can require specialist knowledge and are often applied inconsistently across different tasks and teams.  It’s now easier to carry out structured and consistent manual handling risk assessments using the new Human Focus AI-powered manual handling risk assessment tool.

This app now helps you analyse the weight of the load, posture, movement and task variables, identify higher-risk activities and prioritise improvements.

The system also allows you to use real task data to create practical, task-specific training — helping move beyond generic manual handling guidance.

Alongside this new AI tool, Human Focus provides training for risk assessors to support effective use of the system and ensure outputs are interpreted and applied correctly.

This makes it easier to improve the quality of assessments, apply a consistent approach and reduce manual handling risk across the organisation.

Use New Training Course To Help Operators Manage Whole Body Vibration Risk

Whole body vibration is a common hazard for plant and vehicle operators, but it is often not well understood or actively managed in day-to-day work.

The new Human Focus Whole Body Vibration Awareness Training for Operators course helps workers understand how vibration exposure occurs in real work situations and how their actions influence the level of risk.

Exposure builds up over time through routine activities such as driving over uneven ground, operating machinery for long periods and changes in speed or surface conditions.

The course highlights higher-risk tasks and equipment, explains how vibration affects the body and provides practical steps operators can take to reduce exposure.

This helps organisations improve awareness, support compliance with vibration regulations and reduce the risk of long-term musculoskeletal problems.
