With over 15 years of experience in private practice and as a moving and handling manager within the NHS, I have witnessed the significant impact of workstation assessments on minimising pain and reducing musculoskeletal strain throughout the workday. Adhering to the UK Display Screen Equipment (DSE) regulations set out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is paramount for ensuring ergonomic safety. An optimal workstation setup should include an adjustable chair with lumbar support, allowing for a seated posture that maintains the natural curve of the spine. The desk height must be set so that the forearms are parallel to the ground when typing, with the monitor positioned at eye level to prevent neck strain. Frequent breaks and stretching exercises should be integrated into daily routines to further alleviate any discomfort. By prioritising these ergonomic principles and conducting thorough workstation assessments, organisations can create a healthier working environment, enhancing productivity while safeguarding employee well-being.
