DSE ASSESSMENT FAQs
What are DSE Assessments?
Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessments are basic workstation assessments that identify risks within the users' workspace and make sure the user is set up appropriately.
Wellworking has been delivering DSE programmes for large firms across the UK for 15 years providing cost-effective online self-assessments, virtual assessments via video call, and in-person assessments in the workplace.
Why are DSE Assessments Important?
They’re a legal requirement under UK Health & Safety regulations to ensure workers have the correct workstation setup.
Prolonged use of computers and other display screen equipment can contribute to the following:
- Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)

- Stress
- Fatigue
- Eye Strain
- Reduced Employee Wellbeing

Our expert assessments are designed to identify risk factors and recommend targeted actions to prevent these problems, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable working environment.
How Often should DSE Assessments be done?
Assessments should be reviewed often but particularly in the following situations:
- When someone starts a new role
- When they move to a new desk or workspace
- After any injury or health concern
- If they switch to home or hybrid working

What happens After a DSE Assessment has been carried out?
Our DSE assessments are conducted by skilled and experienced assessors who are trained to identify employees who may require a more specialised level of support or additional Ergonomic Products.
- We offer product advice based on individual circumstances, rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach
- Our range of ergonomic office chairs, laptop stands, sit-stand desks and ergonomic accessories enable us to offer a suitable variety of best in class solutions that offer value for money, longevity, and sustainability
- We inform Managers about non-DSE-compliant products or setups and provide them recommendations for alternative ergonomic solutions
