What is a typical outcome of an initial self-assessment of DSE usage?

The identification of ergonomic issues is a common outcome of an initial self-assessment of Display Screen Equipment (DSE) usage. This process involves evaluating how users interact with their equipment and workstations, often highlighting specific problems related to posture, equipment setup, or workspace arrangement that could lead to discomfort or strain.

By conducting this self-assessment, individuals or organizations can pinpoint these ergonomic issues, providing a foundation for improvements to be made. Addressing these issues subsequently leads to better employee well-being and productivity, as users are likely to become more comfortable in their work environment.

While the other options may seem plausible, they are not direct outcomes typically associated with a self-assessment. For instance, increased equipment costs and reduction in technology use are not inherent results of assessing DSE; rather, the focus is on improving existing setups. Enhanced user satisfaction can be a long-term benefit but is not an immediate outcome of the initial assessment itself, which primarily aims to reveal current issues rather than improve satisfaction directly.
