DSE Assessment Template for Smart Working

This DSE assessment template helps organizations evaluate display screen equipment setups across office, home, and smart working environments. It covers workstation ergonomics for screens, keyboards, chairs, and mouse use; lighting, temperature, and noise; and best practices like regular breaks and the 20-20-20 rule to reduce eye strain. Guidance references HSE recommendations, including positioning monitors, adjusting chair and desk heights, and using accessories such as laptop risers, separate keyboards, wrist supports, and footrests. The checklist also prompts awareness of eye testing entitlements and encourages photo evidence of the workstation to support continuous improvement and compliance.
