DSE Workstation Self-Assessment
A free, confidential 9-question self-assessment (about 2 minutes) to help you understand your workplace health.
What it measures: Screen & posture, Chair, desk & input, Eyes, breaks & environment
What this assessment asks
- Is the top of your screen at about eye level and roughly an arm's length away?
- Can you sit with your back supported and shoulders relaxed, facing the screen without twisting?
- Do you work with your head bent forward or turned to one side for long periods?
- Is your chair adjusted so your feet rest flat (or on a footrest) and your knees are about level with your hips?
- Are your keyboard and mouse placed so your forearms are level and your wrists straight?
- Do you feel discomfort in your wrists, hands or forearms during or after screen work?
- Do you get tired or dry eyes, blurred vision or headaches from screen work?
- Do you take a short break or change posture at least once an hour during screen work?
- Is your screen free from glare, with comfortable lighting and temperature?
Please note: This self-check raises awareness of display-screen-equipment (DSE) risk. It is not a medical diagnosis and does not replace your employer's formal DSE workstation assessment. If you have persistent pain or visual symptoms, seek professional guidance.
