Evotix Assure risk assessment system

To support risk assessors who are licenced users of the Evotix Assure system, we have a number of users guides and a video for using the system. Please note that access to the Assure system is restricted to people who have been nominated by their departments.

An external system called ErgoPro is used for staff to complete online workstation assessments. During the assessments, you will be given advice on how to optimise your workstation and use it safely, and there are different assessments for work at home and work in the office.

Contact the Health and Safety Team for a link to complete a workstation assessment, and please let the team know whether you need a link to the home or work assessment or both.
