DISPLAY SCREEN EQUIPMENT
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 demand specific requirements of employers with the aim of protecting workers from the health risks associated with DSE.
Description
Musculoskeletal disorders accounted for almost a third of all work-related ill health cases in 2019/20 as well as over a quarter of all working days lost. Improper posture is a contributor to this problem in the workplace due to workers sitting in incorrect positions at computers, for example. Ensure your employees are maintaining their health and thus productivity by teaching them about display screen equipment.
