The Desk Risk Assessment Template is designed to help organizations in England and Wales comply with their legal obligations under workplace health and safety legislation. It provides a systematic approach to evaluating desk-based workstations, identifying potential risks, and implementing appropriate control measures. The template is particularly important given the increasing prevalence of desk-based work and the need to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and other workplace injuries. It should be used when setting up new workstations, making significant changes to existing ones, or as part of regular health and safety reviews.
