Working from home VDU and ergonomic assessments | Dynamic Safety Solutions

Ensure compliance and employee wellbeing with expert workstation evaluations

As more employees continue to work remotely, employers must adapt to new risks in home work environments. Poorly arranged desks, inadequate equipment, and lack of proper training can lead to discomfort, injury, and reduced productivity. At Dynamic Safety Solutions, we offer professional VDU (Visual Display Unit) and ergonomic risk assessments to support both employers and employees in meeting legal requirements and promoting workplace health.

Why ergonomic assessments matter
Remote working raises critical concerns:

  • Are employees using safe and suitable equipment?

  • How can previous injuries or discomfort be accommodated?

  • What are your legal obligations under Irish and UK law?

Employers are required to conduct Display Screen Equipment (DSE) risk assessments for anyone using screens for more than one hour daily. This includes ensuring proper workstation setup and providing training. In Ireland, these responsibilities are governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2007. In the UK, similar obligations exist under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.

What is a VDU assessment?

Our VDU and DSE risk assessments
Dynamic Safety Solutions delivers both remote and on-site ergonomic assessments, tailored to your needs. Each assessment includes:

  • Evaluation of the workstation setup

  • Identification of posture risks, equipment use, lighting and layout

  • Immediate corrective adjustments where possible

  • Full reporting and employee sign-off (which doubles as a training record)

Assessments typically take 20–30 minutes and include employee tuition, with extended sessions provided for those with existing injuries or discomfort.

Stay compliant and support your workforce
Whether your team is in the office or working from home, compliance with DSE regulations remains essential. Let Dynamic Safety Solutions help you safeguard employee wellbeing and reduce workplace risks. Contact us today to arrange your VDU assessments.
