DSE Overview

Overview of DSE

This has led to employees suffering from a variety of RSI (Repetitive Stress Injuries) or leading to days off work and in many cases, employees taking their employers to court for compensation because of their illnesses.


RSI and ULD illnesses have become so common-place that the Government have issued Health and Safety Guidelines for display screen equipment usage, making it a legal requirement for employers to ensure their employees work correctly.


A Worksafe UK Risk Assessment will:

  • Help the Employee:
    • Maintain a high level of health and fitness and remind them to consider the way they work.
    • Reduce the amount of RSI related injuries at work, such as vibration white finger, tendonitis and carpal tunnels syndrome
  • Help the Employer:
    • Make the workforce healthier hence reduce the time taken off work.
    • Increase the employee work rate.
    • Conform to Government regulations to offer a 'suitable and sufficient assessment of the health and safety risks associated with work with DSE' (Reg 2 Health and safety DSE Regulations. 1992) thus preventing future claims against the employer.
