MORE ABOUT DSE Assessment

What is DSE Assessment?

A DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessment evaluates how employees interact with their workstations, focusing on ergonomics, equipment setup and potential health risks. The goal is to reduce strain and discomfort from prolonged use of screens, chairs and other equipment.

Why is DSE Assessment important for compliance?

Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, employers must perform DSE assessments for all employees who use display screens regularly. This ensures that workstations meet ergonomic standards, helping prevent injury and ensuring a compliant and safe working environment. Non-compliance could result in fines or legal penalties.

Who needs DSE Assessment?

DSE assessments are required for:

  • Employees who use computers, tablets, or other display screens for prolonged periods.
  • Remote Workers who work from home and need ergonomic guidance.
  • Temporary or New Staff  who are setting up new workstations.
  • Businesses in Any Sector that want to maintain compliance with health and safety regulations

How often should DSE Assessment be done?

DSE assessments should be conducted:

  • Upon Hiring: To ensure new workstations are properly set up when a new employee starts
  • Following Workspace Changes: Any alterations in equipment or office layout require a new assessment.
  • Regularly: To maintain compliance and monitor for any new risks that arise over time. We recommend annual assessments or more frequent assessments if significant changes in the workplace are made or employee health issues arise
