What is a DSE Assessment
Individual and team DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessments, in person or virtual. HSE- compliant. Personalised reports. Independent product recommendations. Available for fully-office, hybrid, and home-based workforces across London.
Why DSE assessment matters
Musculoskeletal disorders account for 32% of work-related health issues in the UK. Stress contributes to 46% of work-related conditions. The intersection, sitting at a poorly-set-up workstation under pressure, is where most office-related back, neck, shoulder, and headache complaints originate.
DSE assessments are also a UK employer legal obligation under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. Most companies meet the letter of the law with a self-assessment form. Doing it properly means a meaningful reduction in sickness absence and a much better experience for employees.

Breaks, screen time, movement patterns, hydration, micro-rests
Equipment recommendations
Independent of any vendor, based purely on what the employee actually needs
