DSE Assessments
Protect your employees from the health risks of working with display screen equipment (DSE). Our expert workstation assessments ensure compliance, comfort, and productivity.
Why Are DSE Assessments Important?
Incorrect use of DSE or poorly designed workstations can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and long-term health issues, such as:
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain.
- Discomfort in arms, wrists, and hands.
- Eye strain and headaches.
- Overall fatigue and reduced productivity.
These issues are often caused by poor posture, unsuitable equipment, or inadequate workstation setup, which may not be immediately apparent.
Legal Responsibilities for Employers
Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations, employers must:
- Conduct a DSE workstation assessment.
- Reduce risks and encourage regular breaks from DSE work.
- Provide eye tests upon request.
- Offer training and information to employees.
The regulations apply to workers classified as "DSE users," meaning those who use DSE daily for continuous periods of an hour or more.
