Display Screen Equipment (DSE)

Risk Assessment

When should an assessment be carried out?

• When workers use display screen equipment (DSE) daily, as part of their normal work, continuously for an hour or more.

Additionally,

• When a new workstation is set up
• When a new user starts work
• When a change is made to an existing workstation or the way it's used
• When users complain of pain or discomfort
