- What to do when an employee reports DSE-related symptoms

About the checklist
What the checklist does — and doesn't — replace
This checklist is a working document for HR, safety officers and office managers. It tells you what good compliance looks like, and what evidence to keep. It is nota workstation assessment in itself — it doesn't replace the per-employee DSE assessment that the Regulations require.
For the actual assessments, organisations either run them in-house with a trained DSE assessor, or use a specialist provider like Usafety. We deliver remotely (~30 minutes via MS Teams) or onsite with documented reports and organisation-level oversight.
If you are setting the scope first, read our explanation of what a DSE assessment covers and our guide to DSE programmes for office, hybrid and remote teams.
