Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Assessments and Training

Staff member (or line manager on their behalf) contacts the SHW Office to request an individual DSE Assessment in the workplace (also known as Visual Display Unit (VDU) or Workstation Ergonomics Assessment).
The staff member self enrols on the online training located in the Safety Hub – Display Screen Equipment section.
The Staff completes the online Workstation ergonomics training and online Workstation Ergonomic assessment within a four-week timeline. The Staff member downloads their completed Assessment Report, emails it to their line manager and copies the SHW Office shw@tudublin.ie
On receipt of the completed Assessment Report, the Occupational Health Advisor (OHA) reviews it and advises the line manager on appropriate control measures and any further actions required; including for example specialist equipment, medical referral etc.
Where medical issues arise in relation to the staff members safety, the SHW Office may refer the staff member to the external Occupational Health Service Provider.
The line manager works with the staff member to implement all control measures.
The OHA updates the online Assessment Report to record status of action items.

*Homeworking assessments are arranged separately with an external service provider as per the Blended Working Policy and Procedure
