Practical assessments for employees working with screens—in the office, at home or across both. We’ll help you identify risks and make workable improvements to their set-up
Clarity provides Display Screen Equipment, or DSE, workstation assessments for employers across the UK. We help you assess workstations, identify practical improvements and create a process that works for employees, managers and your wider health and safety arrangements.
From large-scale online self-assessments to one-to-one ergonomic reviews for more complex cases, we can help you build a proportionate DSE programme around the way your people actually work
A DSE assessment looks at the whole workstation: equipment, furniture, working environment and the tasks a person carries out. It also considers individual needs, such as discomfort or a disability, so recommendations are relevant to the person and their work.
We can help you assess large groups through online self-assessments reviewed by a trained assessor, with one-to-one support for people who need a closer look. Software alone does not complete an assessment; someone trained must review the results and help resolve identified issues.
Employers must assess workstations for employees who use display screen equipment daily, for continuous periods of an hour or more as part of their normal work. This can include office, home, hybrid and mobile workers.
Assessments should also be reviewed when someone starts using a workstation, their equipment or work changes, or they report pain or discomfort. If a hybrid worker uses DSE in both the office and at home, the assessment should cover both settings.
Assessments can be completed remotely or on site, depending on the circumstances. A home visit is not normally needed for a home-working assessment, but may be appropriate in a more complex case.
The DSE Regulations apply equally to employees working from home. Employers must assess home workstations, provide information and training, and take reasonable steps to address issues identified.
Clarity helps organisations:
Develop home‑working DSE self‑assessment processes
Review results through trained assessors, not software alone
Provide practical guidance on setting up home workstations
Advise on when equipment (chairs, monitors, keyboards, etc.) should be provided
This ensures that the same standards of care apply to remote and office‑based staff, reducing long‑term musculoskeletal risk and supporting consistent treatment.
