Office Working - Display Screen Equipment
To complete a Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Workstation Assessment the following steps should be completed;
- Watch the DSE Safety Video: DSE Safety Training Video
- Complete the DSE Safety Video Questions: DSE Safety Questions
- A DSE self assessment of your workspace can then be completed through iProetctU: DSE Assessment
Note: Information on how to complete a DSE Self Assessment can be found here.
It is advisable to email Health and Safety to advise the Health and Safety Office that a DSE self assessment has been completed. The health and safety office will then review the assessment and will revert back to you with any comments or questions. Please email Health and Safety if you have any questions or would like to arrange an assessment.
An employee with existing physical issues may require a more indepth DSE assessment to be completed by an external specialist such as a physiotherapist. Similarly, please email Health and Safety to request this.
