Display Screen Risk Assessment

Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) regulations (1992), organisations are legally required to conduct a specific display screen risk assessment for personnel who are classed as being users of this equipment.

In an ever changing commercial world driven by new technology, longer hours and shared workspaces, assessing the positioning and use of displays and screens is no longer a simple task.

With the typical workplace now utilising a range of devices and the concept of hot desks and work from home now commonplace, it can be hard for employers to determine whether their staff are appropriately set up to avoid stress or injury as a result of using computer or display equipment. It has become extremely rare to find a company whereby all their staff work at a traditional workstation maintain regular working patterns and use a desktop PC.

We can conduct the analyses on your behalf. During this process, one of our fully qualified experts will sit down with each of your workers who uses DSE and interview them about their workstations, discussing any specific issues or problems that they may have. Following these discussions, a report is produced detailing the findings and recommendations for each user.

Alternatively, we can provide you our online e-learning course Assessing Display Screen

 

Assessing Display Screen Equipment

This course is aimed at companies who employ users of display screen equipment, or DSE as it’s often called and is intended to be completed by those who will be assessing the DSE set ups of employees.

DSE is a term that covers a wide range of equipment. If equipment like this is not set up correctly, users are at increased risk from certain disorders.
