What is a DSE desk assessment?
A DSE desk assessment, also known as a ‘display screen equipment’ or ‘ergonomic’ assessment, is a review of your work area, the devices you are using, your work tasks and how you set out your work duties. It forms part of a risk assessment to help reduce musculoskeletal pain or stiffness, headaches and / or eye strain.
It follows a systematic assessment of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and provides you with advice on how to manage and risks that are identified.
Do I need a DSE desk assessment?
The short answer is “yes” if you use a screen for more than an hour a day for your work or study tasks. These should be completed every two years or earlier if you change work areas, experience an injury or you become pregnant.
