After the last few years where many events had to be taken online due to COVID, it is great to see the IIRSM Risk Excellence Awards 2023 will be celebrated on 18th May in person.
The IIRSM Awards will take place at Church House in London and will bring together the risk and safety professionals from across the UK as they recognise and applaud the achievements of individuals and businesses who are championing better risk management and organisational change.
Businesses and employees are working more flexibly that ever. In the wake of the global COVID pandemic it is now commonplace for employees to work both at the office and at home in any given week, or to have even opted to be entirely remote working.
With this, comes an increasing need for both employers and employees to be aware of the risks of prolonged use of Display Screen Equipment (DSE) and have the knowledge and ability to carry out a DSE assessment of their working environment and get help to rectify any issues identified wherever they are located.
In this blog, we look at how frequently a DSE assessment should be carried out and some of the common triggers for reassessment.

They stipulate that the duties of both the employer and employees regarding PPE will be extended to include limb (b) workers.
