The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations came into force on 1st January 1993 (some minor changes were made in 2002).They seek to protect the health of workers by reducing risks from VDU work. Briefly, the Regulations require employers to:

• Analyse workstations to assess and reduce risks
• Ensure workstations meet specified minimum requirements
• Plan work activities so that they include breaks or changes of activity
• Provide eye and eyesight tests on request, and special spectacles if needed.
• Provide information and training.

SQE will undertake the necessary DSE assessments with your staff and provide comprehensive reports, identifying any actions if necessary.

We can provide the tools including training and documentation for you to complete your own assessments.
