Posted By Darren Honeyford Hi I was wandering if anyone could help me, I don't want to re-invent the wheel, I have put some rough guidance notes together for managers to help when assisting an employee complete a self assessment form, but it is little longer than I would like, if anyone has already a short (one pager or even stretching to two) guide is there a possibiltiy of taking a look or can anyone point me in the direction where I can go to look at guidance for managers on this subject (elsewhere other than The DSE ACOP)

Posted By Jane Blunt Sadly, my organisation's questionnaire is very long. What I do have are three single page documents that I wrote, all of which are potentially useful to both managers and users. - A summary of the minimum requirements for a DSE work station. - Troubleshooting a work station (i.e. a list of possible causes of backache, etc. - Advice to DSE users - what they should and should not do. Interested? Jane

Posted By Robert Woods Stephan Harper of the Leeds Occupational Health Project has just written an excellent book on the safe use of VDU's I am fairly sure single copies are free. It's a five minute read and should provide the info a manager will need when performing DSE risk assessments. His number is 0113 294 8222 Hope this helps. Bob Woods
