Risk Assessment

Display Screen Equipment

If your employees use Display Screen Equipment, health and safety is a very real issue – intensive use of this kind of equipment has been proven to cause Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). If workstations are not well designed or employees do not take adequate breaks away from the screen, they are also at risk of fatigue and stress. From your perspective as an employer, safeguarding users of this kind of equipment is not just a way of protecting people’s health and complying with DSE regulations – it is an investment in your company’s resources and productivity.

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) regulations require that you assess and reduce risks in specific ways, as explained in our Risk Management Guide.
