Display Screen & Equipment
Answer each question about your monitor, keyboard, and mouse setup.
Monitor
Monitor height may cause neck strain. Consider a monitor riser or adjusting your chair height.
Screen distance affects eye strain and posture. Try adjusting your chair or desk position.
Glare can cause eye fatigue. Try repositioning the monitor or adjusting blind/lighting.
Keyboard & Mouse
Bent wrists can lead to RSI. Consider a wrist rest or adjusting desk/keyboard position.
Overstretching for the mouse can cause shoulder and neck strain.
Chair & Posture
Good seating is fundamental to preventing musculoskeletal problems.
Feet should be flat. If the desk is too high, a footrest may be needed.
Poor lumbar support is a leading cause of back pain at DSE workstations. Chair replacement may be required.
Forearms should be roughly horizontal. Try adjusting chair height or desk.
Regular breaks reduce eye strain and fatigue. HSE guidance recommends screen breaks away from the workstation.
Working Environment
Lighting, noise, and space all contribute to effective safe working.
Poor lighting contributes to eye strain and headaches. Report to Facilities or line manager.
Excessive noise can cause stress and concentration issues. Raise with your line manager.
Cramped workstations restrict movement and posture. Raise with line manager or Facilities.
Uncomfortable temperatures affect wellbeing and productivity. Report to Facilities.
Wellbeing & Health
These questions help us identify any health issues related to DSE use.
Frequent eye strain may indicate need for an eye test (DSE users are entitled to employer-funded tests). Raise with HR.
Neck/shoulder pain requires prompt attention. An ergonomic assessment or physio referral may be needed.
Wrist/hand symptoms can indicate RSI. Report to your line manager and consider an occupational health referral.
