Display Screen Equipment (DSE) for Assessors

Display Screen Equipment – Working on computers and using related equipment can lead to various issues such as arm pains, back, neck, shoulder, eyestrains, and fatigue. These problems are commonly known as upper limb disorders (ULDs) or repetitive strain injuries (RSI). However, they can be prevented by adopting good practices.

It is not only a legal requirement but can also help reduce absence and improve efficiency.

The Health and Safety Regulations aim to protect the health of people who work with Display Screen Equipment (DSE). It is important to note that DSE work is not a risk if the user strictly adheres to good practices such as properly setting up their workstation and taking regular breaks during intensive work.

Ensuring people use IT equipment in a safe way is a vital part of any risk assessment and can help protect your staff from the increasing risk of aches, pains and more serious injuries caused by the prolonged incorrect use of equipment.
