DSE Assessments

DSE Assessments

DSE stands for Display Screen Equipment and assessments are required to ascertain the risk of people developing ULD (Upper Limb Disorders) or RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and identifying measures to prevent them. Some of the symptoms commonly experienced by those suffering from ULD or RSI include:

• Fatigue
• Eye strain
• Upper limb problems
• Backache.

These symptoms may result in staff absence or illness, resulting in a potential loss to the company.
