DSE Assessments
At Hillsborough Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessments to ensure your employees are working ergonomically and comfortably. We will evaluate their workstations and suggest adjustments to help prevent injuries and improve productivity.
What is a DSE Assessment?
A DSE assessment is an assessment of an employee’s workstation to ensure that it is ergonomically designed to minimise the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, wrists, back, and legs. We perform DSE assessments for businesses to help them protect the health and wellbeing of their employees.
Why is DSE Assessment important?
A DSE assessment is important because it helps prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders, which can cause significant pain, discomfort, and disability. Employers have a legal responsibility to carry out DSE assessments for their employees who use display screen equipment (DSE) for prolonged periods of time. By ensuring that an employee’s workstation is ergonomically designed, you can help them stay healthy, comfortable, and productive.
Who Can Benefit from a DSE Assessment?
Any employee who uses a computer or other display screen equipment (DSE) for prolonged periods can benefit from a DSE assessment. This includes office workers, home workers, call centre operatives, designers, architects, engineers, and many others. By having a DSE assessment, employees can ensure that their workstation is designed to minimise the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
