DSE Assessments – Protect Your Team and Boost Productivity
Display Screen Equipment (DSE) is part of everyday work life, but without the right setup, it can quietly create long-term health risks. Our expert workstation assessments help keep your employees comfortable, compliant, and performing at their best.
Why DSE Assessments Matter
Using a computer for long hours might seem harmless, but the wrong setup can lead to:
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Discomfort in the arms, wrists, and hands
- Eye strain and frequent headaches
- Fatigue and reduced productivity
Most of these issues come from small things—poor posture, unsuitable chairs, the wrong screen height, or a cluttered desk—that often go unnoticed until problems arise.
Your Legal Responsibilities
Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations, employers must:
- Carry out DSE workstation assessments
- Reduce risks and encourage regular breaks
- Provide eye tests when requested
- Offer training and guidance on safe DSE use
These rules apply to anyone who uses a computer or display screen for an hour or more each working day.
Supporting Both Office and Remote Workers
With more employees working from home than ever before, having a safe and ergonomic setup isn’t optional—it’s essential.
We support:
- Office-based staff

Expand Your Safety Strategy with Site Inspection Services in the UK
In a changing regulatory environment, numerous UK contractors and developers are seeking the assistance of third parties to provide unbiased audits. That is where our independent site inspection service comes in. They are more than mere internal tests, providing an unbiased perspective that ensures all measures for safety are duly questioned. Without internal prejudice, independent assessments identify gaps that may fall through due to familiarity or budget limits.
Our stand-alone site audit services not only assist in verifying your existing procedures but also help bring about improvements in the long term by providing actionable feedback on site. This complete view makes a real difference to standards being kept throughout the life of any construction or infrastructure project.
Tailored Reporting for Every Sector
We understand that every two sites are unique. That is why our independent site inspection services are tailored according to your sector, site conditions, and operational schedules. If you’re constructing a multi-storey commercial building or a temporary event structure, our inspectors tailor its inspection structure to your scope and objectives.
We’ve supported organisations across construction, civil engineering, energy, and public infrastructure — delivering site inspection services in the UK that blend technical expertise with real-world practicality. Each report is written in a clear and constructive manner, enabling your team to take decisive action without delay.
Real-Time Recommendations That Matter
In contrast to inflexible, tick-box audits, our on site inspection services are adaptive and advisory. Although our assessors adhere to a systematic process, they also interact freely with site supervisors and operatives while in attendance. This method promotes mutual understanding, enhances safety ownership, and generates a learning culture on the ground.
Our team doesn’t only recognize issues — we instruct your personnel on how to correct them right away where they can, making your workplace safer before the report even arrives in your email.

Ensure your workforce is protected against hazardous substances with professional Face Fit Testing. At SEI.TECH International, we provide reliable and compliant testing services for disposable and reusable respirators across the UK.
Why Is Face Fit Testing Important?
Face Fit Testing ensures that tight-fitting disposable and reusable respirators form an effective seal with the wearer’s face. This seal is crucial to prevent the inhalation of dangerous particulates and safeguard workers from potentially life-altering health risks.
How Does Face Fit Testing Work?
- Saccharin Taste Test: A sweet or bitter solution is introduced into a hood worn over the wearer’s head to check for leaks.
- Movement Simulation: The wearer performs exercises that mimic normal movements to ensure the mask’s seal remains intact during typical activities.
- Verification: Confirms that the mask provides effective respiratory protection.
Regular inspections of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) remain essential even after a successful fit test. Wearers should check their equipment for wear and tear before each use, and any damaged components should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Face Fit Laws
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recognizes Face Fit Testing as essential for respiratory protection. The following regulations require fit testing during the initial selection of RPE:
- Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
- Control of Lead at Work (CLaW)
- Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR)
- Ionising Radiation Regulations (IRR)
Greater Protection Begins by Getting the Right Fit
The right-fitting respirator means the difference between safety and years of respiratory harm. That’s why SEI.TECH International does more than mere compliance. We provide practical protection for your crew. Our face fit testing in the UK services are formulated to identify even small leaks that undermine safety, providing reassurance in hazardous work situations.
As regulatory scrutiny mounts and public concern for occupational health grows, employers no longer have the luxury of ignoring the significance of proper RPE use. Our aim is not merely to test but to give your employees useful knowledge and confidence in using respiratory protection.
When Should Face Fit Testing in the UK Be Performed?
Face fit testing in the UK is not an event that occurs once. It should be done:
- When new RPE is provided
- If the wearer has a major change in facial structure (e.g., weight gain, dental procedure)
- When transitioning between respirator models or brands
- Once a year, as part of regular compliance and best practices
By scheduling regular assessments, organisations ensure that the protective equipment remains effective under changing conditions. Our comprehensive face fit testing UK services are available nationwide, making it easy for businesses to stay compliant and protect their workers proactively.
Understanding the Face Fit Testing Cost UK-Wide
The face fit testing cost in the UK can differ based on the number of employees, test location, and whether on-site services are needed. Here at SEI.TECH International stands for fair pricing without additional charges.
Regardless of whether you’re a small business or a large construction company, we have scalable packages that meet your operational requirements. Investing in on-time testing keeps you away from the much higher cost of non-compliance, worker health problems, and legal action.
Training & Awareness: Developing a Safety Culture
Our service doesn’t stop at testing. We assist clients in developing a culture of safety by training employees on the use and proper application of RPE. From how to do it correctly to tips for daily maintenance, our workshops ensure that protection is not merely theoretical but useful and enforceable.
This learning module serves to decrease misuse and increase awareness of workplace risks. When your staff is aware of why fit testing is important, they are much more likely to follow safety standards.
Why Choose SEI.TECH International?
At SEI.TECH International, we provide qualitative Face Fit Testing conducted by trained and competent assessors. Our services include:
- Comprehensive Testing: Ensures masks fit securely and provide the necessary protection.
- On-Site Testing: Conduct tests at your premises or a location of your choice for convenience.

FAQs
Q1: How long does a Face Fit Test last?
A typical qualitative test typically takes approximately 20 minutes per individual, allowing for setup and brief instructive guidance.
Q2: Is Face Fit Testing legally required?
Yes. UK law requires tight-fitting RPE to be tested for fit before it’s used, according to COSHH and connected legislation.
Q3: What if a person does not pass the test?
If a mask doesn’t fit properly, we’ll assist in selecting an alternative model that does. Re-testing is done on-site to ensure a proper seal is achieved.
Q4: What’s included in the face fit testing cost UK clients pay?
Our pricing covers full testing by a competent assessor, mask fitting advice, documentation for compliance, and optional training add-ons.
Risk Assessment Services
Ensuring the safety and well-being of your employees and others is not just good practice—it’s a legal obligation. Let us help you identify, evaluate, and manage risks effectively to create a safer workplace.
What Is a Risk Assessment?
A risk assessment is a structured process that identifies potential hazards in your workplace, evaluates their risks, and establishes control measures to protect everyone from harm. It is a legal requirement for employers, especially those with five or more employees, and is critical to maintaining a safe and compliant working environment.

What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under fire safety laws across the UK. It involves identifying potential fire hazards, assessing risks, and implementing controls to ensure the safety of everyone in the premises. This process is essential for creating a safe environment and avoiding penalties for non-compliance.
Legal Requirements
Fire safety obligations are governed by the following regulations:
- England and Wales: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates the creation of a ‘living’ fire risk assessment document, an emergency plan, and a fire safety diary.
- Scotland: Fire safety responsibilities fall under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
- Northern Ireland: Fire safety is governed by the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
Higher hazard workplaces, particularly those involving dangerous substances (DSEAR and HSE guidance L138), must take additional precautions to address risks of explosive atmospheres.
Who Needs a Fire Risk Assessment?
Fire Risk Assessments are required for a wide range of properties and entities, including:
- Landlords, business owners, and occupiers.
- Tenants and property managers.
- Public spaces such as schools, construction sites, theatres, and cinemas.
- Care homes, pubs, and houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).
What We Do
Our professional Fire Risk Assessment services include:
- Identifying Fire Hazards: Assess potential sources of fire, ignition, and fuel.
- Implementing Effective Controls: Recommend measures to eliminate or reduce fire risks.
- Emergency Plan Development: Create a clear plan to ensure everyone’s safety during a fire.
- Compliance Communication: Ensure fire risk assessment findings and plans are communicated to all employees, occupants, and visitors.
Why Professional Fire Risk Assessment Services are Important
Hiring professional fire risk assessment services guarantees that each possible hazard is properly identified, documented, and tackled with the latest legal standards. Though a few companies try DIY assessments, only trained professionals can bring the advanced technical expertise, neutrality, and legal authority necessary — particularly for high-risk settings like care homes, industrial premises, or multi-storey residential buildings.
Our surveyors are equipped to assess both open and concealed fire hazards, such as out-of-date electrical installations, stored combustibles left unsecured, or obstructed means of escape. Through the use of professional fire risk assessment solutions, companies can rest assured and noticeably minimize the possibility of an occurrence.
The SEITECH Method to Fire Service Risk Assessment
Our fire service risk assessment methodology combines operational experience with industry best practices. We use a five-step system that addresses all risk factors and ensures that they are documented and dealt with:
- Discover fire hazards (sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen).
- Identify individuals at risk (including vulnerable people or night shift workers).
- Assess, eliminate, and minimize risks by adopting sensible control measures.
- Record results and develop an effective emergency plan.
- Review and update assessments regularly, particularly following major changes to premises or staff.
This procedure guarantees that you not only satisfy UK legislation but also establish a culture of positive safety.
Advantages of Regular Fire Risk Review
Fire risks may change rapidly with shifts in staff, equipment, or building design. For this reason, it is important to arrange for regular reviews of your fire service risk assessment. Our experts offer scheduled inspections, refresher assessments, and documentation updates to guarantee ongoing compliance.
Here are the primary advantages:
– Identification of new hazards at the earliest
– Cost-effective controls
– Defence in law during inspection or incident
