What is a DSE Assessment?
Long term use of a computer can cause fatigue, eye strain, upper limb disorders and backache, especially if the workstation is badly designed or incorrectly used. A DSE consultation will look at all aspects of the workstation including desk and chair setup, monitor positioning, and keyboard and mouse use. As well as identifying any issues which may lead to poor posture or repetitive strain risks, the assessment will also recommend modifications to a setup and new equipment where relevant.
Working with display screen equipment (DSE) guide from the Health & Safety Executive will give you all the details you need to know about making sure DSE workers needs are met.

The Business Benefits
A DSE Assessment ensures that an employer meets current regulations, but also benefits businesses in a number of other ways. As well as reducing possible sick leave and associated costs, an ergonomic workstation can relieve pre-existing pain and discomfort and also reduces the risk of new upper limb disorders occurring. A properly conducted DSE assessment improves health, morale and productivity. It also reduces business administration costs and the risk of compensation claims for injuries sustained because of work.
