FAQs

What are the risks of using display screen equipment?

Risks that may arise from using display screen equipment include problems with posture, eye strain and repetitive strain injury. Generally speaking, health problems are usually caused when the equipment is being used incorrectly, not the DSE itself. However, it is important to know best practise and be able to set up your workstation and use it safely.  

Is display screen equipment training mandatory?

Display screen equipment training is mandatory and we recommend it is completed on an annual basis and when equipment is changed.
