Why do my team members need workstation assessments?

Musculoskeletal problems are the most common cause of work-related health issues. From eye strain and headaches to back pain and RSIs, display screen equipment (DSE) can contribute to a range of issues. As a result, under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, you're legally required to provide workstation risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks.

It’s important to note that the obligation covers both
in-office workers and any remote or home-based employees.

You'll need to carry out ergonomic assessments:

  • As part of onboarding new employees

  • When a workstation is set up for the first time

  • When any changes are made to a workstation set up

  • When an employee reports pain and discomfort

  • When an employee's circumstances change through illness, injury or pregnancy

Our workstation assessments

If you need DSE assessments in Southampton, our experts take a customer-first approach. We'll look at the user, the work they're carrying out, their equipment and their work environment. Then we'll identify the risks to health and wellbeing and recommend ways to improve employee comfort and productivity.

At Workhappy, ergonomic assessments are much more than a tick-box exercise. So our DSE experts in Southampton go beyond compliance to solve real-life problems and implement DSE best practices.
