    Is a DSE Assessment a Legal Requirement?

    According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), employers are legally required to conduct a DSE assessment if employees use display screen equipment for an hour or more as part of their daily work.

    Assessments should be completed:

    • When setting up a new workstation
