DSE Assessments for Homeworkers

Have you got staff working from home? Do they work with display screen equipment? Do they comply with the Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, as amended by the Health & Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002? The DSE Regulations came into force in 1993 to implement a European Directive, No 90/270/EEC of 29 May 1990, on minimum safety and health requirements for work with DSE.

This assessment covers the DSE Regulations only. Employers should ensure that they also comply with general duties placed on them by other health & safety legislation (see the Section on Workstation Risk Assessments).

We produce a 6 page report covering your Company-owned items such as:-

• Display Screen

• Keyboard

• Mouse (or Trackball)

• Laptop

• Software

• Furniture

• Environment

Other questions asked relate to:-

• Any problems the User has working with their DSE

• Any discomfort or other symptoms which they attribute to working with their DSE

• Awareness of their entitlement to eye and eyesight testing

• Whether or not they take regular breaks away from their DSE

The assessment takes approximately 75 minutes on site plus a further 75 minutes off site to produce the final report. The Report is sent to you electronically in pdf format.
