Professional DSE & Ergonomic Assessments for Health, Comfort and Productivity
Workstation assessments are a critical but often overlooked part of maintaining a healthy, productive workplace. JS Office Environments provides workstation assessments in London, helping employers improve comfort, reduce risk, and support staff wellbeing in line with best practice.
When carried out correctly, workstation assessments can deliver clear business benefits, including improved productivity, reduced discomfort and absence, higher staff morale, and better long-term retention. They also support employers in meeting their health and safety responsibilities for display screen equipment (DSE) users.
Our workstation assessments focus on ensuring the right fit between the individual, their equipment, and their working environment, whether staff are office-based, hybrid, or working from home.
What Our Workstation Assessments Cover
To assess the fit between a worker and their workstation, multiple factors must be considered. Our assessments take a holistic, practical approach and typically include:
The role and tasks being performed, including duration and repetition
Workstation equipment, such as chairs, desks, screens, keyboards, and accessories
Posture and positioning, ensuring correct setup and adjustability
Information use, including screen height, viewing distance, and document handling
The physical environment, including lighting, temperature, noise, and space
Individual needs, such as existing discomfort, injuries, or adjustments required
Where improvements are identified, we provide clear, practical recommendations to help employers reduce risk and improve comfort.
Why Workstation Assessments Matter for Employers
Regular workstation assessments help organisations:
Reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders
Improve employee comfort and productivity
Support hybrid and home working arrangements
Demonstrate compliance with health and safety obligations
Reduce sickness absence and staff turnover
For businesses across London, workstation assessments are not just about compliance. They are a proactive way to support people, protect performance, and create a more sustainable workplace.

DSE Compliance and Employer Responsibilities
Employers have a legal duty to protect staff who use display screen equipment as part of their work. JS Office Environments provides workstation assessments that support employers in meeting their responsibilities under DSE and health and safety regulations.
Workstation assessments help employers identify and reduce risks associated with prolonged screen use, poor posture, unsuitable furniture, and inappropriate working environments. This applies not only to office-based staff but also to hybrid and home workers.
By carrying out regular workstation assessments, employers can demonstrate a proactive approach to health, safety, and wellbeing while helping to prevent discomfort, musculoskeletal issues, and long-term absence. Our assessments focus on practical improvements rather than paperwork, ensuring recommendations are realistic and actionable.
What Happens After a Workstation Assessment?
Following a workstation assessment, employers receive clear guidance and practical recommendations tailored to the individual and their role. Our aim is to help you take meaningful action that improves comfort, safety, and productivity.
Post-assessment support typically includes:
A summary of findings and identified risks
Practical recommendations for workstation setup and posture
Advice on equipment adjustments or replacements where required
Guidance on lighting, screen positioning, and working habits
Support selecting suitable chairs, desks, or accessories if needed
Where equipment changes are recommended, we can also advise on suitable solutions and coordinate supply and installation if required. This creates a joined-up approach that turns assessment outcomes into real improvements, not just reports.
Who Should Have a Workstation Assessment?

Office-based staff who use computers regularly
Hybrid and remote workers
Employees experiencing discomfort, pain, or fatigue
New starters or staff returning after absence
Staff undergoing role changes or workplace moves
For organisations across London, workstation assessments are an effective way to support employee wellbeing, reduce risk, and maintain productivity across different working environments.
