Unit No:
Assessed by:
Date of Assessment:
Sections 1 to 6 of this DSE Workstation Assessment should be completed for all workstations,
whether or not they are used by defined DSE Users. Section 7 must be completed by each DSE
user to identify whether they are a Defined DSE User. All Defined DSE Users must complete
Section 8.
Where workstations are used infrequently by employees who are not Defined DSE Users, the
standards required of the workstation will be less than one that is.
Consider each of the risk factors and answer each question either Yes, No or Not applicable. Where
a No answer is given, consider the possible management actions suggested and record what action
is taken in the Action/Comments column.
Review the assessment annually or sooner if there are significant changes to the workplace,
workstation or in working arrangements and following a relevant workstation-related incident or ill
health related to the use of DSE.

1. Display Screens
Are the characters clear and
readable?
Make sure the screen is clean &

that cleaning materials are
available
Check that text and background
colours work well together.
Is the text size comfortable to

read?
Software settings may need

adjusting to alter text size
Is the image stable i.e. clear

of flicker?
Adjust text & background colours. If

problems persist, arrange for repair
Is the screens specification

suitable for its intended use?
Intensive graphic work or fine

attention to detail may require a
larger screen size
Are the brightness and/or

contrast adjustable?
Does the screen swivel & tilt?
Is the screen free from glare

and reflections?
Separate adjustment controls are

not essential if the user can read
the screen at all times
Swivel & tilt mechanisms may not
be fitted but can be added. The
screen may need replacing if the
mechanism is
absent/unsatisfactory, work is
intensive or the user has problems
getting a comfortable position
The screen or desk may need to be

moved and/or the screen may need
shielding. Screens that use dark
characters on a light background
are less prone to glare & reflections
Check that blinds work. Vertical
blinds can be better than horizontal
ones
If this does not work, consider antiglare screen filters as a last resort
Are adjustable window

coverings provided and in
good condition?

2. Keyboards
Is the keyboard separate
from the screen?
This is a requirement, unless the

task makes it impracticable (e.g.
when there is a need to use a
laptop computer)
Does the keyboard tilt?
Provide a keyboard that tilts
Is it possible to find a
comfortable keying position
Ensure the users arms are bent at

the elbow & forearms and wrists
horizontal.
Try pushing the keyboard further
back to create more room for the
keyboard, hands and wrists. Users
of thick keyboards may need a
wrist rest.
Provide training to prevent users:
hands being bent at the wrist

hitting the keys too hard
overstretching the fingers.
Does the user have good

keyboard technique?
Are the characters on the

keys easily readable?
Keyboards should be kept clean. If

characters still cannot be read, the
keyboard may need modifying or
replacing.
Use a keyboard with a matt finish
to reduce glare and/or reflection.

3. Mouse, Trackball etc.

Is the device suitable for the
tasks it is used for?
Is the device positioned close

to the user?
Is there support for the

device users wrist and
forearm?
If the user is having problems, try a

different device they are available
in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Touch screens may be better for
some tasks but can be worse for
others.
Most devices are placed as close
as possible i.e. right beside the
keyboard. Training may help
prevent:
arm overreaching
the user leaving their hand on
the device when it is not being
used
a relaxed arm and straight wrist
Support may be gained from the

desk or chair arm. If not, a
separate supporting device may
help the user find a comfortable
working position.
Does the device work

smoothly at a speed that
suits the user?
See if cleaning is required e.g. the

mouse ball or rollers. Check the
work surface is suitable. A mouse
mat may be needed.
Can the speed and accuracy

of the pointer be adjusted by
software settings?
Train users to be able to adjust

software settings.
4. Software
Is the software suitable for
the task?
Ensure that the software enables

the user to carry out the task
required, minimises stress and is
user-friendly. It should respond
quickly & clearly to user input, with
adequate help facilities such as
clear help messages.
Train users how to use the
software efficiently.

5. Furniture
Is the work surface large
enough for all the necessary
equipment, papers etc?
Create more room by moving

printers, reference material etc.
elsewhere.
If necessary, consider providing
new power and telecom sockets so
equipment can be moved.
There should be some scope for
flexible arrangement.
Rearrange equipment, papers etc.
to bring frequently used things
within easy reach.
Can the user comfortably

reach all the equipment &
papers they need to use?
A document holder may be

needed, positioned to minimise
uncomfortable head & eye
movements.
Are surfaces free from glare

& reflection?
Consider mats or blotters to reduce

reflections.
Is the chair suitable and

stable?
The chair may need repairing or

replacing if the user is
uncomfortable or cannot use the
adjustment mechanisms.
Does the chair have a

working:
seat back height and tilt
adjustment
seat height adjustment
swivel mechanism
castors or glides?
Is the chair adjusted
correctly?
Ensure that the user can carry out

their work sitting comfortably.
Train the user in how to adopt
suitable postures whilst working.
Ensure that the arms of chairs do
not stop the user getting close
enough to use the equipment
comfortably.

Are forearms horizontal and
eyes at roughly the same
height as the display screen?
Are feet flat on the floor
without too much pressure

No
Adjust the backrest so that the user
can sit with a straight back,
supported by the chair, with
relaxed shoulders.
Adjust the chair height to get the
users arms in the right position,
and then adjust the screen height,
if necessary.
Provide a footrest if required.
6. Environment
Is there enough room to
change position and vary
movement?
Is the lighting suitable i.e. not

too bright or too dim to work
comfortably?
Space is needed to move, stretch

and fidget. Consider reorganising
the office layout and check for
obstructions. Cables should be
organised so that they are not a trip
or snagging hazard.
Adjust light sources e.g. by
adjusting window blinds or light
switches.
Consider shading or repositioning
light sources or providing local
lighting e.g. desk lamps, but ensure
that they do not cause glare.
Does the air feel

comfortable?
Display screens may dry the air.

Circulate fresh air if possible.
Consider a humidifier if discomfort
is severe.
Is the room temperature

comfortable?
Adjust the room temperature. More

ventilation or air-conditioning may
be required if there is a lot of
electrical equipment in the room.
Move users away from heat
sources.
Are noise levels comfortable?
Consider moving sources of noise

e.g. printers, photocopiers away
from the user. If not, consider the
use of dividers or screen around
workstations to reduce noise.

8. The User
Does the user take regular
breaks working away from
DSE?
Ensure users take frequent short

breaks from the screen and
keyboard by carrying out other work
tasks. This is more beneficial than
taking longer less frequent breaks.
Has the user been advised of

their entitlement to eye and
eyesight tests?
Advise the user of current

arrangements for eye and eyesight
tests. Human Resources Dept. can
advise you.
Where telephone headsets are

worn can volume levels be
reduced by the user?
Is the telephone headset fitted
with an acoustic shock limiter,
which protects against
uncontrolled peaks of noise?
(e.g. electronic interference or
deliberate loud noises through
the telephone call)
Has the checklist covered all
the problems that the user
may have with their DSE
including any symptoms of
discomfort?
Replace telephone headsets with

those fitted with suitable volume
controls
Replace telephone headsets with

FLOOR SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT
Site name: KIA OVAL

Date of assessment: 05/02/2014

Unit No. 68717
Date of next review: 04/02/2015
Purpose
A significant number of accidents recorded each year by the Company involve slips, trips and falls. They result in many minor and
some very serious injuries to both employees and customers.
The purpose of this assessment is to help you to identify floor safety risks and to take preventive measures to reduce risk where
necessary. It is Company Policy to provide employees with personal protective equipment (PPE) as a last resort measure where the
risk remains high after all other preventive measures have been taken. PPE, may include safety footwear
Instructions
Part 1 of the assessment seeks to identify types of floor surfaces that are present within your site and assess their slip risk category Low,
Possible or High. Look at all floor areas in the unit and record the information in the Table on page 3 of this assessment document.
Part 2 of the assessment seeks to identify other floor safety hazards in and around the unit. Consider the factors shown in the left-hand
column and complete the information requested in the shaded boxes; judge whether you consider that there is a significant hazard
present and what action could be taken to reduce the risk of injury. Indicate in the right-hand column when remedial action has been
completed or if there is a reason why action cannot be taken and a risk remains.
The assessment must be signed and dated by the Site/Unit Manager and must be reviewed annually or more frequently if there are
significant changes in the floor structure or condition, and following any slip, trip and fall type accident or near miss.

Death, Electric shock, Burns
Overhead electrical power lines
Wherever possible, working at height and working from ladders should be avoided, for example, by
storing items at lower levels, taking items down to ground level to repair/maintain etc. Where working at
height cannot be avoided precautions must be taken to prevent a person from falling.
A ladder may only be used if:
There is no suitable safer alternative means to access the task, e.g. fixed scaffold or tower
scaffold, scissor lift, cherry picker etc; and
The work task is of short duration and the ladder is in one position for no more than 30 minutes.
The ladder is used for light work where a maximum load of 10kg is carried on the ladder.
Three points of contact (hands and feet) can be maintained at the working position.
Employees using ladders are physically fit and have been trained in the correct selection,
positioning and safe use of ladders, including the carrying out of safety checks before use.
The ladder details are entered onto the Ladder Register and a Management Safety Check has
been carried out within the last 6 months. (See page 4 of this risk assessment)
A visual check has been made by the ladder user to ensure it is in a satisfactory condition.

Ladders must be of a suitable size for the task (long enough).

Ladders must be suitable for the surface conditions on which they will be used, e.g. suitable for use
on smooth surfaces or floor tiles, referring to the ladder manufacturers user instructions for
unsecured use.Ladders must be marked as rated Class 1 (Industrial) or to EN: 131 standard
Where workplace conditions require the use of stability devices, only use devices supplied by the
ladder manufacturer, or devices compatible with the ladder being used.
Where stability devices cannot be used or they are not suitable, additional safety measures
described in the Positioning of ladders section of this risk assessment must be applied.

Hazard
Task/Activity: Use Ladders (Page 2 of 4)

Safety Risk

Positioning of ladders
Ladders must only be used on firm ground or by spreading the load with the use of a suitable board.
Ladders must not be used on sloping ground unless a levelling device is used to ensure that the
rungs are level.
When using ladders on solid surfaces, these must be clean, free of oil, moss, leaf litter or other
loose materials.
Wherever possible ladders must be tied to a suitable point, ensuring that both stiles are securely
tied.
Where it is not practicable to tie the ladder an effective ladder stability device should be used.
If a ladder stability device cannot be used, the foot of the ladder should be securely wedged, e.g.
against a wall.
If the ladder cannot be secured in any other way it should be securely footed. Footing ladders must
be regarded as a last resort measure and should be avoided, where reasonably practicable, by the
use of other access equipment.
Where ladders are used to access a higher level, they must be tied and the ladder must extend at
least 1 metre above the landing point to provide a secure handhold.
Ladders must be positioned where they are not at risk of being struck by vehicles or pedestrians. If
necessary suitable barriers and warning cones must be used.
Ladders must be positioned where they are not at risk of being pushed over by other hazards, e.g.
opening doors or windows. If necessary, secure doors and windows or have a person stand guard
during the task.
Leaning ladders should be positioned at an angle of 75 or the 4 in 1 rule (1unit out for every 4 units
up).
Ladders must not be used within 6 metres horizontally of any overhead power lines, unless the line
owner has made then dead, or protected them with temporary insulation.
Ladders must not be rested against any weak upper surfaces, e.g. glazing or plastic gutters. Where
necessary use effective spreader bars or effective stand-off devices.
Ladders must not be placed on moveable objects such as pallets, bricks, lift trucks, tower scaffolds,
vans, or mobile elevating work platforms.
Ladders must not be used in strong winds or in adverse weather conditions where there is an
increased risk of slipping on the rungs, e.g. heavy rain, ice or snow.

Task/Activity: Use Ladders (Page 3 of 4)

Safety Risk

Safe use of ladders
The user must make a visual check of the ladder before using it. The check should ensure that the
ladder is in good repair with no obvious defects, that the ladder is not loose, missing rivets, splitting
or excessively worn and that the feet are clean, in good condition and in contact with the ground.
If a ladder is found to be defective it must not be used and the fault must be immediately reported to
the manager or supervisor.
The ladder feet must also be checked after using in soft or dirty ground and, if necessary, cleaned
before being used again.
When using a ladder the user must avoid standing on the top three rungs and allow at least 1 metre
of ladder length above the highest rung used.
When positioning ladder care must be taken to avoid contact with overhead fans or rotating objects.
The user must face the ladder at all times when going up or down and should have 3 points of
contact (hands and/or feet) on the ladder at all times.
Ladders must not be extended whilst standing on the rungs.
Tool belts or carriers should be used to reduce the risk of dropping tools.
Never overreach when working on a ladder keep the belt buckle within the line of the stiles. Never
straddle from a ladder to a nearby foothold, never grip on a handhold on the building and reach in
the opposite direction.
Avoid work that imposes a side loading by positioning the ladder so that it faces the work task. If
side loading cannot be avoided, tie the ladder to prevent it moving.
Never leave ladders unattended where there is a risk of unauthorised persons using them.
Always wear suitable clean footwear when using ladders in accordance with the current safety
footwear policy and procedure.

After use, clean and return the ladder to a secure place of storage, protected from the effects of the
weather.

Dear (insert name of new / expectant mother)
Thank you for your written confirmation of your pregnancy. Legislation requires that as your employer, I take
all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of you and your baby whilst you continue in your employment.
To assist me, I need to carry out an assessment of any hazards that you may face when carrying out your
normal duties. This is quite a simple exercise that requires a discussion of your duties and some of the
potential problems that need to be avoided to ensure the health of you and your baby.
However, in the first instance, you should consult your GP and take action as follows:
Show your GP your job description and ask if any changes are necessary to your work activities.
Let me know in writing any concerns that your GP may have that are relevant to your employment.
This will help ensure I can accurately carry out an assessment of any hazards that you may face in
your role.
Should you have any concerns whatsoever regarding your employment, please do not hesitate to contact me.

inspection and servicing to be in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
This should be carried out at least annually.
Each gas appliance should have a conveniently accessible isolating valve that will
permit it to be turned off whilst not affecting other equipment.
Where it is reasonably practicable to do so, gas appliances should be fitted with flame
failure devices. These will cut off the supply of gas to the burner if the flame is
extinguished thereby preventing asphyxiation or explosion.
Workplaces where gas equipment is used must be adequately ventilated to ensure
correct combustion and removal of the waste products from combustion.
Gas equipment only to be used by trained employees in accordance with
manufacturers instructions where provided. This training to include the correct
selection of equipment for the tasks undertaken, lighting, cleaning and emergency
procedures.
Where gas equipment has to be lit manually, a taper must be used. The taper must be
lit and presented to the burner at arms length immediately the gas is turned on. If the
appliance fails to light, ventilate the equipment for at least 3 minutes before
attempting to light it again so that any residual gas has had time to disperse.
All employees must know where the main gas-isolating valve is situated so that the
gas can be turned off in an emergency. If a gas leak is suspected, all appliances
should be turned off, light switches or electrical equipment must not be switched on or
off, if possible the room should be ventilated to the outside air, the room vacated and a
competent gas engineer called to investigate.
Where gas equipment faults pose a risk of injury, they must be turned off at the
isolating valve and labelled and not used again until repaired by a competent person.
Checks to be made to ensure that gas appliances are turned off where appropriate at the
end of the day.

Safety Risk
Cages not to be loaded above the load line or above the level where an operator can see
over the load.
Where provided, opening gates on cages must be securely in place before moving. Where
they are not provided, where necessary, straps should be used to pull the sides together
and help prevent the load from falling through the open sides.
Only one cage to be handled at a time, using the handles, if provided.
Wheels should be aligned with the direction of travel before moving the roll cage.
In most situations, cages should be pushed rather than pulled.
Where cages are to be moved in busy pedestrian areas, cages should be pulled rather than
pushed to reduce the risk of collisions, or assistance should obtained from another person.
When moving roll cages in close proximity to pedestrians a verbal warning should be given
by the person pulling the cage who must slow down and be prepared to stop where it is
apparent that the pedestrian may not have heard the verbal warning or be unaware of the
roll cage.
Ensure the pathway is clear.
Roll cages to be moved no faster than walking speed.
Wherever possible, routes with uneven surfaces, ramps or steps should be avoided. If this
is not possible, or when a cage is heavily loaded, assistance to be obtained from another
person.
Defective floor surfaces along cage routes to be reported to the responsible person
without delay.
Employees must not ride on or in cages as they can easily overbalance.

Wherever possible, working at height and working from stepladders should be avoided, for
example, by storing items at lower levels, taking items down to ground level to repair/maintain etc.
Where working at height cannot be avoided precautions must be taken to prevent a person from
falling.
A stepladder may only be used if:
There is no suitable safer alternative means to access the task, e.g. fixed scaffold or tower
scaffold, scissor lift, cherry picker etc; and
The work task is of short duration and the stepladder is in one position for no more than 30
minutes.
It is used for light work where a maximum load of 10kg is carried on the stepladder.
Employees using stepladders are physically fit and have been trained in their correct
selection, positioning and safe use, including the carrying out of safety checks before use.
The stepladder details are entered onto the Stepladder Register and a Management Safety

Safety Risk

Cleaning deep fat fryers
The oil must be below 40C before attempting to manually drain it into the storage container for
filtering, disposal or cleaning. The temperature of the oil should be checked using a probe
thermometer.
It only takes 6 to 7 minutes to heat the oil to the operating temperature of 180C but it takes up to 7
hours to cool to 40C. Therefore this task should be carried out first thing in the morning when the
fryer is cold, warming the oil for no longer than 1 minute if necessary and by agitating the oil with the
frying basket to assist in improving its flow.
If fryers are to be cleaned by a contractor during a deep cleaning schedule, it may be necessary to
avoid using the fryer that day so that the catering team can drain the oil safely prior to deep cleaning.
Where an automated, semi-automated or portable oil draining/filtering system is fitted and used, the
temperature of the oil should usually be between 100C and 110C or to the temperature specified by
the equipment manufacturer.
Switch off/isolate the appliance before cleaning and or draining the oil reservoir.
Appropriate PPE to be worn in accordance with COSHH information and to provide protection against
hot liquids, surfaces and chemical fumes.
If during cleaning, the reservoir is filled with a cleaning solution, do not overfill and do not allow the solution to boil over.
When draining large volumes of oil or cleaning solution, drain small amounts into easily manageable
heat-resistant containers and do not overfill them so as to reduce the risk spillages and back and
muscle strain when lifting and moving them.
When refilling the fryer, two people to lift full or nearly full 20 litre containers of oil, or purchase oil in
smaller containers.
Spillages to be cleaned up as soon as they occur and the floor area completely cleaned and dried to
avoid the risk of slipping.
