DSE Workstation Assessment Tool

DSE assessments are the easiest legal duty to ignore and the easiest to get caught not doing. Someone develops wrist or back trouble, the question gets asked, and "we meant to" isn't an answer. This tool makes doing it quicker than dodging it.

The DSE Workstation Assessment Tool covers display screen equipment use under the recognised approach: the screen, keyboard and mouse, chair and posture, desk and layout, the working environment, and the software and breaks side of the job. It guides the user through their own setup and produces a record you can act on and keep.

Built for UK workplaces — written around the UK DSE Regulations and HSE guidance on display screen work.

What you get

• A complete workstation assessment covering screen, input devices, furniture, posture and environment
• Prompts that surface the real issues — glare, monitor height, chair support, laptop-on-a-table working
• A finished record per user, ready for the file and easy to revisit when something changes
• Works for office, hybrid, and home-based display screen users

Who it's for

Office and facilities managers, HR and H&S coordinators, and small business owners responsible for staff who work at screens — in the office or at home.

Format

Instant digital download. Reusable for every workstation and every new starter. No subscription, no login, no expiry.

Aligned with UK HSE guidance. This tool helps you structure and record your own assessment — it does not replace competent judgement or specific legal advice for your situation.
