DSE Assessments

The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 aim to protect the health of people who work with display screen equipment.

What is DSE?

As an employer you are legally required to conduct DSE assessments for workers who use DSE daily for continuous periods of an hour or more.

DSE encompassess a wide range of devices with screens, including PC’s, laptops, tablets, smartphones and touch screens.

Why is DSE important?

Prolonged or improper use of DSE can lead to musculoskeletal problems, eye strain, fatigue and mental stress. Incorrect use or poorly designed workstations and working enviroments can lead to pain in necks, shoulders, backs, arms, wrists and hands. Muscular skeletal problems can be avoided if users follow effective practice, set up their workstations properly and take breaks during prolonged use. By just taking a few simple precautions, work with DSE can be more comfortable and productive.
