DSE Workstation

The numbered issues are as follows:

1. Adjustable height and angle to seat back.

2. Good lumbar support.

3. Adjustable seat height to bring the hands to a comfortable position on the keyboard. Seat also has a stable five–star base.

4. Correct seat – height adjustment and keeping the feet supported prevents excess pressure on underside of thighs and backs of knees.

5. Foot support if user cannot get their feet on the floor.

6. Space for postural change, no obstacles under desk; this allows the user to fidget and change position as they work.

7. Forearms approximately horizontal when hands are on keyboard.

8. Minimal extension, flexion or deviation of wrists; wrists should be straight and flat when on the keyboard, indicating proper seat-height adjustment.

9. Screen height and tilt should be adjustable to allow comfortable head position.

10. Space in front of keyboard to support hands/wrists during pauses in keying; a wrist-rest can provide further support, if required.

Manual HandlingHazards: -

Efficient Movement Principles: -

Employees should be trained in efficient movement principles that incorporate basic safe lifting techniques. This technique minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and consists of the following steps:

Before lifting:

Check the weight, C of G and stability of the load.

Plan the route of the carry.

Establish a firm grip.

The lift:

Bend the knees and use the leg muscles to lift.

Keep the back upright.

Keep the load close to the body.

Avoid twisting, over-reaching, jerking.

Setting down:

Use the same principles as when lifting.

Maintain good balance.

Set the load down and then adjust its position using body weight.

Typical Slip hazards:-

Smooth floor surfaces that are:  

- Inherently slippery (e.g. polished marble).  

- Wet because of spills or cleaning operations.

Frost and ice (e.g. outside pavements in winter or the floor in a freezer).

Typical Trip hazards:-

Uneven or loose floor surfaces (e.g. broken paving slab; poorly-laid floor mat).

Trailing cables (e.g. the cord of a vacuum cleaner).

Objects on the floor (e.g. a bag left on the floor).
