DSE WORKSTATION ASSESSMENT
Site/Unit Name: KIA OVAL
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 screen’s 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 user’s 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.
Move any obstructions from under
the desk.

Matters To Consider
5. Furniture (continued)
Is the small of the back
supported by the chair’s
backrest?
Are forearms horizontal and
eyes at roughly the same
height as the display screen?
Are feet flat on the floor
without too much pressure
from the seat on the backs of
the legs?
Y/N
or NA
Possible Management Action if
“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
user’s 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

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

FLOOR SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT
Site name: KIA OVAL
Assessed by: Jade Everett
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.

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.

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.

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.


Employ responsible persons, 18 years or over, who are capable of working with
minimal supervision.
Training in general health and safety awareness and specific job tasks is particularly
important where there is limited supervision. Training should also include fire
precautions, equipment failure, arrangements for illness and accidents and any other
emergency procedures.
Check that the lone worker has no medical conditions that would make them
unsuitable for working alone. Consider both routine work and foreseeable
emergencies and seek medical advice if necessary.
Consider whether elderly, female, new or expectant mothers or workers with
disabilities are particularly at risk when working alone.
Ensure that one person can safely carry out activities/tasks that involve manual
handling and the use of equipment, e.g. deep fat fryers.
Lone workers must not enter confined spaces where they may be at exposed to
atmospheres with depleted oxygen levels.
Implement the safety precautions in the Violence at Work Risk Assessment where
this is applicable to the site or work activity.
Personal attack alarms may be valuable as a deterrent to an aggressor.
Implement appropriate procedures for the monitoring of lone workers to ensure that
they remain safe. These may include regular site visits, regular contact using a
telephone or radio and checks that a lone worker has returned to their base on
completion of a task. The procedures adopted to ensure the safety of a lone worker
will depend on the specific circumstances at each site and may also require Client cooperation and involvement.
The site-specific Lone Workers Workplace Checklist must be completed for each
lone worker. (Any completed Site specific Lone Workers Workplace Checklists should
be attached to this completed form)
IMPORTANT - This risk assessment should be reviewed every 12 months, or whenever there is a significant change in the task or activity and following any

3. Are you exposed to prolonged periods of
loud noises?
Yes / No
Possible Management Actions
Reduce exposure to noise by altering
work tasks or by limiting the times
working in noisy areas.
Examples could be loud machines.
Prolonged exposure may lead to increased
blood pressure and tiredness.
4. Are you exposed to ionising radiation?
Examples include working in “controlled
areas” or in “supervised areas” where local
rules apply, e.g. Medical X-ray departments,
nuclear power plants. Significant exposure
can harm the foetus.
5. Is your workplace extremely hot or cold?
Local rules and any specific procedures
must be followed.
Contact your Line Manager or Client for
advice if required.
Reduce exposure to extremely hot and
cold work areas.

Expectant mothers tolerate heat less well
and may faint due to heat stress,
dehydration or fatigue. Breast-feeding can
be impaired by heat dehydration.
6. Are you required to stand or sit for long
periods or carry out work involving much
physical effort?
Fatigue from standing and other physical
work can lead to miscarriage, premature
birth and low birth weight. Physical
pressures may cause stress.

This may cause tiredness, which can lead to
fatigue and stress.
10. Do you work regular overtime?
This may cause tiredness, which can lead to
fatigue and stress.
11. Do you suffer from morning sickness?
Nauseating smells such as kitchen and
chemical smells can cause morning
sickness.
Early morning starts may make it difficult for
expectant mothers to get to work if they are
suffering from morning sickness.

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:
a
Show your GP your job description and ask if any changes are necessary to your work activities.
b
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.
Yours faithfully

Gas installations, connections and equipment to be installed, inspected, maintained
and serviced by competent persons who are GAS SAFE Registered. Routine
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
manufacturer’s 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.

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.

 LPG must not be stored in cellars or below ground level, near drains, in passageways,
on stairs or near fire exits.
 A designated storage area must be provided which is at least 1.5 metres away from
sources of ignition and combustible materials.
 The designated storage area must provide good ventilation at high and low levels to
prevent any build up of gas in the event of a leak.
 A MAXIMUM quantity of 70kgs of LPG may be stored inside buildings provided that
there are no more than 5 cylinders of between 3kg and 20kg capacity or no more than
20 cylinders of less than 3kg capacity.

 LPG cylinders that are not part of fixed installations must be stored in a well-ventilated
place, preferably outside, in an upright position; and secured to prevent anyone tampering
with them and to prevent them falling over.
 The area around LPG cylinders must be kept clear of combustible materials. Weeds and
grass should be cut down and chlorate based weed killers should not be used because
they can be a fire hazard.
 LPG cylinders must be located outside in a secure place, at least 2 metres away from
drains, gullies and openings to cellars and other areas below ground level.
 A MAXIMUM quantity of 400kgs of LPG can be stored at least 1 metre away from

Safe System of Work / Control Measures
Cleaning deep fat fryers
 The oil must be below 40°C 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 180°C but it takes up to 7
hours to cool to 40°C. 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 100°C and 110°C 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.
