About Hub-4

Who are the DSE experts at Hub-4?

Hub-4 is a specialist provider of Display Screen Equipment (DSE) training, assessment and management solutions for organisations across the UK.

We help employers meet their responsibilities under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations through practical training, effective DSE assessments and solutions that support the ongoing management of DSE.

With more than 30 years of experience in DSE, we understand that effective DSE management is about more than completing an assessment and ticking a compliance box. It needs to work for the organisation and, most importantly, for the people who use display screen equipment every day.

Our experience covers office, home, remote and hybrid working, helping organisations take a practical approach to managing DSE wherever their people work.

Summary online DSE training → DSE assessment → DSE management.

how dse training works

Our approach to DSE

At Hub-4, we believe effective DSE management is about much more than completing an assessment and ticking a compliance box.

Our approach combines practical experience, specialist DSE knowledge and straightforward technology to help organisations manage DSE effectively — wherever their people work.

We look at the whole picture. That means understanding how people actually work, the equipment they use, their working environment and the demands of their role. We then help organisations identify what needs to change and, importantly, how those changes can be put into practice.

Practical, not just theoretical

DSE guidance can be complicated. Our aim is to make it straightforward.

We translate the requirements of the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations into practical steps that employers, managers and employees can understand and apply.

Our experience covers traditional office environments as well as home, remote and hybrid working, where managing DSE can present very different challenges.

More than an assessment

A DSE assessment is only one part of effective DSE management.

We help organisations understand the wider requirements around DSE training, assessment, corrective actions, equipment, management processes and ongoing review.

This means organisations can move beyond simply identifying risks to developing a consistent and sustainable approach to DSE management.

Technology that supports people

We use technology where it genuinely makes DSE management easier.

Our DSE solutions are designed to help organisations manage assessments, training and information efficiently, while keeping the process accessible for employees and manageable for those responsible for DSE.

Technology supports the process — it doesn’t replace experience and professional judgement.

Experience you can rely on

Hub-4 brings more than 30 years of experience in DSE to the organisations we work with.

That experience has shown us that there is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer. The best DSE solutions are those that reflect how people actually work and that organisations can realistically implement.

Our objective is simple: to help organisations manage DSE properly, protect their people and meet their responsibilities — without making the process unnecessarily complicated.

Why Hub-4 is different

We combine:

DSE expertise + practical experience + training + assessment + management + technology

to provide organisations with a more complete approach to DSE.

We don’t believe in DSE for the sake of DSE. We believe in practical solutions that work in the real world.

The cloud based delivery ensures uniformity of content and trackability of delivery.

Hub 4 has grown to offer our range of health and safety online courses to leading employers in crucial sectors, including Government, finance, IT and food industries.

Easy

An easy-to-use and all-inclusive software

The main criteria I had for our Desk Assessment training was that it needed to be an easy-to-use and all-inclusive software. DSEasy is just that, and has saved me a lot of time.

Spectacular

Gerald comments

“We have been involved with office health and safety matters, especially DSE, since 1993, and are very much Health and Safety specialists rather than a software or equipment company attempting to exploit an opportunity.

Our clients include Government Departments, Councils and Police Authorities as well as major PLCs both UK and International not forgetting SMEs. Whether small or large all our clients are treated with the same care and respect.
