We work closely with 1st Central Insurance across their Manchester, Sussex and Gibraltar sites to support their Health & Safety and Facilities teams fulfil their DSE requirements.
We we’re asked to find a solution that would consolidate their DSE processes across their sites and reduce the spend on specialist equipment, whilst caring for team members with musculoskeltal issues and ongoing or degenerative conditions.
“Posture People have always been good at coming back to us. Arranging replacement chairs, assessments and specialist equipment has been prompt”

Our approach
1st Central have a fantastic approach to wellbeing and offer a diverse package of benefits to their employees. In addition to offering coaching on their wellbeing days, we’ve implemented an online DSE system so that they can securely completed their DSE requirements, and consolidate the assessments from multiple sites.
This system filters and flags users that need further support. If the user is deemed to need our help, we then support with specialist DSE assessments, coaching and onsite training so that the individual has the tools to help themselves on a day to day basis. If necessary, we will then proceed to procure specialist equipment, or reuse and adapt existing solutions on site to reduce cost..
