Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Safety in the Workplace
If your employees use Display Screen Equipment (DSE) — such as computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones — on a daily basis, it’s your legal responsibility to protect them from potential health risks associated with DSE use.
Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, employers must assess and manage the risks for all workers who use DSE for an hour or more each day. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines these individuals as “DSE users.”
Prolonged use of computer workstations and display screens can cause a range of health issues, including neck, shoulder, back, and arm pain, as well as eye strain, fatigue, and stress. Implementing proper DSE assessments and ergonomic practices helps reduce these risks and promotes a healthier, more productive workplace.
Our professional ergonomic assessment service helps East Midlands businesses meet legal DSE requirements while proactively protecting employee health and productivity.
