Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Risk Assessment
Book NowLegislation
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (DSE Regulations), came into force on 1 January 1993. The Regulations require that ALL users of Display Screens/VDU equipment and workstations must be assessed for risk. Staff who spend more than a couple of hours per day sat at a desk may experience headaches, neck and lower back pain, sore arms and shoulders or a combination of these problems.
As an employer you must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety and well being of all people using your equipment.
Methodology
Workplace Fire & Safety Ltd will come to your premises and carry out a full and comprehensive assessment of all your workstations. This will entail correcting instances of bad seating and posture, looking at the general environment, improving desk lay out and general ergonomic awareness.
A detailed report is prepared with corrective actions, for all workstations and can always be referred back to. This is especially useful if you have new starters, agency/temporary staff or have contractors who come to your offices. Training can also be provided to key members of staff who will be then able to carry out a competent assessment.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
