Our DSE risk assessment template gives you a structured way to record and address hazards linked to computer workstations, whether in the office or remote settings. You’ll capture ergonomic risks, lighting issues, and equipment concerns, making it easy to comply with health and safety requirements and reduce incidents like eye strain or musculoskeletal problems.

The UK Health and Safety Executive found that over 540,000 workers suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders. If you need to address related risks, we also have an office risk assessment checklist or manual handling risk assessment template available for download.

Frequently asked questions

What is a DSE risk assessment and why is it required at work?

A DSE (display screen equipment) risk assessment identifies and documents health and safety risks from computer workstations. It is legally required in many countries to protect employees from hazards like eye strain, repetitive strain injuries, and poor posture, ensuring employers provide a safe and healthy environment for all screen-based workers.

What does a typical dse risk assessment look for?

A typical DSE risk assessment examines monitor height, screen glare, keyboard and mouse placement, chair adjustability, and lighting. It also checks for signs of discomfort or fatigue, such as headaches or back pain, and suggests adjustments or equipment to help prevent long-term health issues.

Why are DSE-related injuries so common in office environments?

DSE-related injuries are common because repetitive tasks, prolonged sitting, and poor workstation setups can lead to muscle strain, back pain, or vision problems. Many workers aren’t aware of proper ergonomic practices or neglect regular breaks, increasing the risk of developing chronic issues.

What can you do if an employee reports discomfort at their workstation?

If an employee reports discomfort, conduct an immediate DSE risk assessment and adjust their workstation as needed. Solutions may include changing chair height, repositioning monitors, or adding footrests. Early intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming serious injuries.
