Face-to-Face DSE Workstation Assessment

Who is the Face-to-Face DSE Workstation Assessment for?

The Face-to-Face DSE Workstation Assessment is for people who are experiencing discomfort or pain at their DSE workstations and need advice and recommendations. Usually this assessment is undertaken following a DSE compliant assessment that has failed to resolve any issues reported.

What happens in a Face-to-Face DSE Workstation Assessment?

The assessment will be carried out by a member of our assessment team. All of our assessors are trained DSE assessors with extensive product knowledge. The assessor will undertake a series of checks and ask questions about the reported problems. Face-to-Face DSE Workstation assessments address more specific aspects of workstation set-up and include measurements and photographs to produce a more detailed picture.

Following the assessment, a report will be submitted which will address the reason for the assessment, highlight any relevant areas of concern, and provide recommendations with justifications.

What happens when I book a Face-to-Face DSE Workstation Assessment?

Once a request has been made to book an appointment, the user will receive a proposed date and time. This can either be accepted or rejected - at the click of a button. If accepted, the user will receive reminders leading up to the appointment, plus real-time tracking on the assessor’s whereabouts on the day. If our suggested time is rejected, the user has the chance to write any notes or suggestions for a more convenient time and date.

Does this assessment make us fully compliant with DSE regulations?

Not fully. Our DSE Workstation Assessments are focused on increasing the musculoskeletal comfort of your users. To be fully compliant with the regulations, you will need to consider all DSE risks, such as lighting and the surrounding environment. Our DSE Compliant Assessment covers all of the risks you must consider to comply with the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992.
