Display Screen Equipment Assessment
The DSE Assessment ensures colleagues who work with screens have a safe, ergonomic and comfortable workspace.
A DSE Assessment is a physical assessment of a colleague’s computer VDU setup, performed by experts in ergonomics. They consider physical injuries, traumas, potential risks and overall physical concerns.
PAM Physio Solutions DSE Assessors explore all physical/ergonomic issues related to the whole VDU and surrounding working area, including equipment, furniture, and environment, such as lighting and space. These assessments reduce the risk of health issues like eyestrain, headaches, and musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back and neck pain, which are common among colleagues working for long hours at screens.
We provide tips, insights and practical adjustment recommendations to improve comfort, productivity, and overall wellbeing for both home and
office-based workers.
Duration:
- A typical assessment takes around 60-minutes
Service Deliverables:
- A comprehensive report with findings and recommendations is provided after the assessment
- Advisory equipment or furniture to prevent MSK injury risk
