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. Employees fall into this category if they meet the following criteria:
- They use the display screen equipment (DSE) on a daily basis
- They use this equipment for an hour or more at a time
- They could not do their job without the DSE.
These risk assessments must cover the:
- Screen
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- Software
- Workstation furniture
- Working environment (this includes variables like lighting and heating)
Our free assessment involves the following and normally we would charge £25 for this service
- Analysis and audit of DSE users in your workplace and the requirement for assessment
- We will then conduct a free assessment around a single workspace
- Assessment of the workspace in question to cover all areas covered in HSE guidance
- Interview with worker to discuss the workstation, equipment, environment and any comment or concern they may have
- Full report and findings produced with recommendation
