DSE Assessments
The use of Display Screen Equipment (laptops, desktops) in the workplace is at the highest it has ever been, so it is important to ensure you are compliant with the legislation and employees are comfortable at their workstation. The workforce of today are living increasingly sedentary lifestyles, so it is important to raise awareness and educate, therefore minimizing the risk of pain from DSE use. Furthermore, employees using Display Screen Equipment must be offered an eye test by their employer, in line with HSE guidance.
Helping your employees to be comfortable and sit correctly at their workstation can promote wellbeing in the workplace and increase productivity. Sarsen Health DSE Assessments include intermediate vision eye tests, assessment of workstations and advice on posture and wellbeing at work.
What we offer:
- DSE assessments – a paper assessment and onsite review of ergonomic set up, advice on posture and workstation set up
- Ergonomic assessments for those with complex health problems and advice on adjustments.
