About this template
The Display Screen Assessment is designed to be quick to complete and easy to adapt to your own workplace. Start from the template rather than a blank page, tailor the hazards, controls and responsibilities to your site, and keep a completed copy on file as evidence that the right checks were made.
How it links to the standards
Where this template names protective equipment or a control measure, the equipment itself is governed by a published standard that defines what it must withstand and how it is tested. The full EN standards library covers each one in plain language so you can confirm you are specifying the right level of protection.
Screen height, chair support and desk layout all affect posture over a full shift.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Display Screen Assessment template cover?
A workstation assessment for display screen equipment users, walking through the setup of the screen, chair, desk and working posture.
Who should complete a display screen assessment?
Anyone who regularly uses display screen equipment as a significant part of their normal work, since prolonged poor setup is the main driver of the musculoskeletal issues this assessment aims to prevent.
What happens after the assessment is completed?
Keep a completed copy on file as evidence the right checks were made, and use the findings to make any needed adjustments to the workstation.
Should this assessment be repeated?
Yes, whenever the workstation, equipment or user changes, and periodically as a routine review, since a setup that worked initially can drift out of adjustment over time.
