Ergonomic Risk Assessment (VDU/DSE) - Office Workstation

The Ergonomic Assessment Process

Do you know?

In the Republic of Ireland, employers are obligated to assess all employees’ workstations and display equipment to ensure employees' well-being under the Display Screen Equipment Regulation 2007.

Let us guide you in creating a comfortable and compliant workspace through our Office Ergonomic Risk Assessment.  

In the United Kingdom, employers are also required by the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations of 1992 to conduct a risk assessment of a workstation for each employee who uses DSE for a continuous duration of one hour or more while performing their duties.   

Workstations must adhere to specific guidelines in order to minimise threats to the user's health and safety. 

What is Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment?

A Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment involves evaluating and addressing potential hazards related to the usage of computer screens at work, known as a visual display unit (VDU) or display screen equipment (DSE) setting. These hazards encompass factors that could lead to musculoskeletal discomfort, upper limb disorders or eyestrain.
