A health and safety competent person must assess all users of Display Screens or VDU equipment and workstations, including laptops. Staff who spend more than a couple of hours per day sat at a desk may experience headaches, neck and lower back pain, sore arms and shoulders or a combination of these problems. Employers must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of all people using such equipment.

JustSafety Assessments

An experienced JustSafety consultant can:

• visit your premises and carry out a full and comprehensive assessment of all your workstations.
• assess instances of bad seating and posture, looking at the general environment
• provide recommendations for improving desk lay out and general ergonomic awareness, including Home Workers or those using serviced offices
• prepare a detailed report with corrective actions for all workstations. This is especially useful if you have new starters, agency and temporary staff or contractors who work at your premises.

JustSafety can train your nominated DSE Assessor/s to enable them to carry out assessments as and when they are required
