Display Screen Equipment Assessments

If you use a PC, laptop, or any display screen equipment (DSE) the configuration of the screens, keyboard, mouse, desk, and chair should be assessed to ensure the correct posture is maintained by the user. Our Display Screen Equipment Assessments, or Workstation Assessments, are designed to pinpoint areas of improvement to reduce the risk of back, neck, arms, wrists, and shoulder pain as well as potential fatigue and eyestrain.

What the Health & Safety Executive say:

“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 an hour or more at a time. We describe these workers as ‘DSE users’. The regulations don’t apply to workers who use DSE infrequently or only use it for a short time.”

The Display Screen Equipment Assessments regulations apply to the following, for example:

  • At a fixed workstation
  • A mobile worker
  • Home workers
  • hot-desking (workers should carry out a basic risk assessment if they change desks regularly)

For more information regarding DSE please see Health and Safety Executive website.
