An employee’s ergonomically incorrect set up can mean an increased risk of musculoskeletal problems.

Back in Action’s DSE assessments provide practical, compliant workstation evaluations designed to reduce musculoskeletal (MSK) risk and improve employee comfort, whether delivered onsite or in home-working environments. 

Assessments are conducted at the employee’s workstation, where our ACPOHE-registered physiotherapists evaluate posture, equipment, and working practices. Immediate adjustments are made where appropriate, alongside clear, tailored recommendations to optimise the setup and prevent recurrence of issues.

DSE assessments can be delivered reactively for individuals experiencing symptoms or proactively as part of a structured programme to mitigate risk across the workforce. This approach supports compliance with the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations while driving measurable improvements in employee wellbeing and productivity.

Why DSE Assessments Matter

DSE-related issues remain a leading cause of work-related ill health within office-based environments, with poor workstation setup contributing significantly to musculoskeletal disorders, stress, and reduced productivity. 

The rapid increase in hybrid and home working has further elevated this risk, with many employees working from suboptimal or temporary setups. Ensuring consistent, high-quality DSE assessments across all working environments is therefore critical to both employee wellbeing and organisational performance.

Under the UK Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations, employers are required to:

  • Assess DSE workstations
  • Reduce risks to the lowest reasonably practicable level
  • Provide eye tests on request
  • Ensure regular breaks or task variation
  • Provide training and information on safe DSE use

Back in Action’s structured DSE service supports full alignment with these requirements while delivering tangible improvements in workforce health and performance.
