DSE Assessments

Ensuring Safe, Comfortable, and Compliant Workstations

At Premier Therapy Clinic, we provide comprehensive DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Assessments in Tunbridge Wells to help businesses and individuals create safe, ergonomic, and compliant work environments.

A DSE Assessment identifies and minimises potential health risks associated with the prolonged use of display screen equipment — such as computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones — helping reduce discomfort, prevent injury, and boost productivity.

What Is a DSE Assessment?

A DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Assessment is a health and safety evaluation designed to ensure that your workstation setup supports good posture and reduces the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain, neck strain, and repetitive strain injuries (RSI).

During the assessment, a trained assessor examines your workstation — including your desk, chair, monitor, keyboard, and mouse — as well as environmental factors such as lighting, temperature, and noise.
The goal is to create a workspace that promotes comfort, efficiency, and wellbeing.

How Our DSE Assessment Works

1. Identify Employees Requiring Assessment
   We work with employers to identify team members who use display screen equipment regularly and may be at risk of developing posture-related pain or discomfort.
2. On-Site or Remote Assessment
   A qualified assessor conducts a detailed evaluation of the workstation setup — either in person or virtually — using ergonomic checklists and posture analysis.
3. Evaluation of Risk Factors
   The assessment identifies potential risks such as poor posture, awkward monitor positioning, excessive reaching, or inadequate lighting.
4. Recommendations and Adjustments
   We provide tailored recommendations to improve workstation ergonomics, which may include:
   • Adjusting desk or chair height
   • Repositioning monitors and keyboards
   • Adding ergonomic accessories (chairs, mice, wrist supports)
   • Educating employees on posture and taking regular breaks
5. Follow-Up Support
   We offer follow-up guidance to ensure all recommendations are implemented effectively and employees maintain safe and healthy working habits.
