Dr David Usher BSc DPhil FCIEHF
Consultant Ergonomist
Dr David Usher has provided ergonomics expert witness services to the Courts for over 30 years. The process typically involves identifying the ergonomic issues behind work-related injuries, assessing the suitability of the equipment provided and analysing the risk management system. The key issue is usually foreseeability – could the injury have been reasonably foreseen?
Dave’s reports are based on thorough, detailed investigation into whether the workspace or system of work could have contributed to the injury. He will assess whether the Claimant was adequately protected from harm and whether the employer complied with relevant health and safety standards. He delivers clear, concise and correct reports in a format conformant with the Civil Procedure Rules.
Dr Usher can take instructions on behalf of claimant or defendant or as a Single Joint Expert. He can also provide reports for the Criminal Courts.
