DSE is now one of the most commonly used types of work equipment, therefore the HSE introduced The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 to protect the health of those who work with DSE.

​

Display Screen Equipment Users

Workers meet the classification of a DSE user if they meet the following criteria:

​

✅ They use DSE on a daily basis;

✅ They use DSE for an hour or more at a time;

✅ They could not do their job without DSE.

​

If workers meet the DSE classification, employers must do a workstation (DSE) assessment.

Employers should look at: the whole workstation, including equipment, furniture, work conditions and the job being done.​

​​​​​

Prolonged use of computer workstations and display screen equipment (DSE), can lead to neck, shoulder, back or arm pain, along with stress, fatigue and temporary eyestrain. 

​

These disorders can be avoided if DSE assessments are carried out, equipment is set up correctly and good practice is applied

Home Working

The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations also applies to workers who work at home on a permanent or long-term basis, as well as for those workers who may be home working from another country. ​​​​
