Online VDU Assessments (DSE Assessments)

Overview

Online VDU Assessments, also known as Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Risk Assessments, are a legal obligation outlined in the “2007 General Application Regulations.” Our comprehensive Online VDU/DSE Assessments cater specifically to remote workers who operate from home, ensuring compliance and reducing workplace injuries.

Who Should Attend?

According to the law, employers must conduct Visual Display Unit (VDU) Assessments for computer workstations where employees spend more than one hour daily, whether at home or in the office.

Service Review

• Mitigate workplace injuries
• Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations
• Provide tailored workstations for your employees’ unique need

Duration & Assessment

Each individual completes a self-assessment form and engages in a 20-30 minute online meeting to evaluate their workstation, considering their specific requirements or preexisting injuries. Once the assessment is completed, comprehensive reports are forwarded to the employer.

Certification

We provide a detailed report that fulfills legislative requirements, and it is recommended to renew the VDU assessment process when:

• An employee’s job responsibilities change, impacting their daily workload
• There is a desk relocation or modification
• Physical abilities of the employee undergo changes

Requirements

Active participation from the individual being assessed is crucial to maximize the assessment’s effectiveness. It is necessary for the person to have access to a camera to showcase their VDU/DSE workstation to the assessor.
