Display Screen Assessment
‘As an employer, you must protect your workers from the health risks of working with display screen equipment (DSE), such as PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations apply to workers who use DSE daily, for continuous periods of an hour or more. We describe these workers as ‘DSE users.
Incorrect use of DSE or poorly designed workstations or work environments can lead to pain in necks, shoulders, backs, arms, wrists and hands as well as fatigue and eye strain. The causes may not always be obvious. The law applies if users are, for example: at a fixed workstation, mobile workers, home workers and hot-desking (workers should carry out a basic risk assessment if they change desks regularly)’

Preventing ergonomic risks to your employees
DSE users face ongoing discomfort and potential injury through poor workstation setup or bad posture. Through our comprehensive workstation assessment, we analyse an individual’s working environment and DSE equipment, in order to help prevent these issues. We also share DSE best practice with each individual so that they can use this knowledge going forward.
- Contact us to request a quotation today!
- We can carry out individual, whole team, department or whole company DSE assessments for both office and home workers.
- Assessments do not take up too much time – up to 45 minutes will be spent with each individual.
- Assessments can take place in person or via video call.
- You will receive a comprehensive DSE report per individual assessed which will outline adjustments made and any further actions and equipment required.

Thank you Jen for overseeing all of our in house assessments and finding the time to fit everyone in. We really appreciate your help and advice and we have taken steps to bring in the recommended equipment such as footrests and take action in paying attention to how we are set up in our workplaces and consciously think about it. The whole process has been very worthwhile.
