Health & Safety
Trade businesses have offices too. The DSE Regulations apply to anyone using display screen equipment daily, and Gaffer records the workstation checks — screen, keyboard, mouse, chair, desk height, lighting and breaks — for the staff running the back office.
No credit card required · One platform · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
A workstation assessment per person, covering what the Display Screen Equipment Regulations actually ask about.
Screen adequacy and glare, keyboard and mouse suitability, chair adjustability, desk height, footrest and document holder — each recorded rather than summarised as 'workstation OK'.
Daily DSE hours and whether regular breaks are actually taken, because exposure time is the thing the regulations care about most.
Where something is not suitable, the action is recorded against the assessment and the review date keeps it from being forgotten.
DSE assessments sit alongside your team records, training and health surveillance in one platform.
They apply to your office staff — schedulers, administrators, estimators, anyone who uses a screen as a significant part of their daily work. The engineers on the tools are usually out of scope, but the people booking their jobs are not.
Homeworking still counts as DSE use, and the assessment should reflect the workstation they actually use. Gaffer records the workstation location, so a home setup and an office desk are separate records rather than one optimistic assessment.
The unsuitable items are recorded individually and the actions required are captured on the assessment, so what needs fixing is explicit rather than buried in a comment.
When the workstation changes, when the user changes, or if the user reports discomfort — plus a periodic review. Each assessment carries a review date so the periodic part does not slip.
