Understanding what is required for a Display Screen Equipment DSE Assessment is important for all workplaces. Ensuring a suitable assessment has been undertaken is only one aspects, training and awareness; provision of instruction; provision of correct equipment and actioning issues which arise are necessary.

Where individuals work at home, ensuring that they too are included and are set up correctly cannot be ignored. Many may not have the space to enable correct set up, however, in undertaking their everyday work, how are you ensuring that they will not be adversely impacted?
