Training
Display Screen Equipment
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (DSE) apply to personnel who habitually use any form of display screen at work, including laptops. If you fall into this category you must...
- Analyse your workstations, assess and reduce the risks.
- Ensure workstations meet minimum requirements.
- Plan VDU work to ensure staff have breaks or changes in activity.
- Provide eye and eyesight tests for VDU users if requested, and provide spectacles if special ones are needed.
- Provide health and safety training and information for VDU users.
ADM has an experienced DSE trainer to carry out all training for your employees who require it. Contact us for details on your VDU and workstation training requirements.
Different Types of Screen
What is the difference between a VDU, VDT, DSE & Monitor?
None.
These terms all mean the same – a display screen. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (DSE) apply to staff who habitually use display screens as a significant part of their normal work.
Does My VDU Affect My Health?
VDU’s have been blamed – often wrongly – for a wide range of health problems. Only a small proportion of users actually suffer ill health as a result of their work.
Problems generally occur because of the way that we use the VDU. Problems can therefore be avoided with good workplace and job design, and by the way you use your VDU and workstation. Good training reduces the risk of such problems occurring.
