Undergraduates, visitors to the University, contractors and other postgraduate research students are not
legally required to have a DSE assessment, however they are encouraged to adjust their workstation and
follow the principles set out in Safety Code of Practice 13 and the good practice leaflet.
All staff will be requested by email to complete the Cardinus Workstation Safety Plus online training
After completing each module, you will be able to view your own results. The aim of the online process
is that you will be able to resolve any issues yourself by following the guidance offered by Workstation
Plus. For example, this may be simple adjustments to your chair or the position of your mouse, keyboard
or monitor, or recognising that you need to take more short breaks away from your desk. You will then
be asked by the system to confirm that you have resolved any issues. Until all issues have been resolved,
you will continue to get automatic reminders from the Cardinus System.
DSE Assessors
If you have been unable to resolve all the issues yourself, your local DSE Assessor will be able to access
your results and help with resolving any outstanding items. This may vary from providing further advice
and helping you make adjustments, to making recommendations to your manager/supervisor about a
need for alternative equipment or chairs, desks or document holders.
Your details for your School/Department can be found here DSE Assessors List If there is no assessor
listed, please contact your Health and Safety Co-ordinator or alternatively Health & Safety Services.
DSE assessors can access the Cardinus administration system (PACE) for the online Workstation Plus
system by cutting and pasting this link into your browser and use your University IT username and
password to log in:
DSE Administrator Workstation Safety Plus
Note : All DSE assessors must attend both DSE assessor training modules (Part 1- Cardinus Software
and DSE assessment Training and Part 2 - Work Station Ergonomics).
Where there are significant health issues associated with or potentially made worse by workstation use,
users must be referred by their manager/supervisor to Occupational Health.
DSE assessors are responsible for checking that all users in their area have completed a workstation
assessment, training and test and that the issues that are highlighted by these assessments are dealt with
and all remedial actions signed off. Where computer users have not completed the
training/test/assessment or issues have not been resolved, this should be brought to the
manager/supervisor's attention by the DSE Assessor.
