Workplace Work Station Assesments

These are carried out to ensure compliance with DSE regulations or to look at other problems in the workplace, such as space, temperature, humidity, noise levels, layout, moving and handling etc., for which our qualified Advisers can provide advice on regulations and guidance on any adjustments required, therefore creating a healthier and more comfortable working environment for your employees.

The DSE regulations are there to protect the health of employees working with VDU equipment. Workstations should be assessed and any risks should be minimised – this could be by means of rearranging the workstation, providing seating or other equipment better suited to the employee, ensuring that adequate breaks from VDU work are taken, providing sufficient, relevant information and training or visual screening to see if spectacles are required.
