Display Screen Assessment – Embracing Technology 

If workers use display screen equipment (DSE) daily, as part of their normal work, continuously for an hour or more, employers should carry out a DSE assessment.

Where there are risks, the employer must take steps to reduce them.

Employers should look at: 

  • the entire workstation, including equipment, furniture, and work conditions 
  • the job being completed 
  • any special requirements, for example a user with a disability 

 

While traditional paper based DSE assessment methods can be effective, they often lack the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability required for modern workplaces. This is where technology steps in, offering a transformative approach to DSE management.  

The easiest, hassle-free way for your organisation to become DSE compliant is by using DSE software.

Some of the benefits of investing in DSE software, are outlined below. 

  • Streamlined Processes and Enhanced Compliance 
  • Customised Assessments and Personalised Recommendations 
  • Enhanced Reporting and Data-Driven Insights 
  • Improving Employee Well-being and Productivity
