DSE Assessments: Ensuring Workplace Health & Compliance

What is a DSE Assessment?

A Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessment is a crucial evaluation designed to ensure that employees who work with screens, computers, and other digital devices have a safe and ergonomic workstation. This assessment helps identify risks associated with poor posture, prolonged screen time, and inadequate workstation setups, ensuring compliance with Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.

Why Are DSE Assessments Important?

Many employees spend hours in front of a screen, leading to potential health issues such as eye strain, back pain, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), and musculoskeletal disorders. A DSE workstation assessment ensures:

• Compliance with UK health and safety regulations.

• Improved employee comfort, productivity, and wellbeing.

• Reduced risk of work-related injuries and absences.

• Recommendations for ergonomic chairs, desks, and accessories to enhance comfort.

  
  

Who Needs a DSE Assessment?

DSE assessments are legally required for employees who:

• Use a computer or digital screen for continuous periods.

• Work from home or remotely on a regular basis.

• Experience discomfort or health issues related to their workstation.

• Have recently started a new role or changed their workstation setup.
