Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Awareness & Ergonomic Safety
Protecting Your Team From Musculoskeletal Disorders in Office and Post-Production Environments
In today’s media and production industries, many professionals spend extended periods working at computer workstations—whether in production offices, post-production suites, or on-site edit stations. Without appropriate workstation ergonomics, prolonged display screen use can contribute to serious health issues, including repetitive strain injury (RSI), back and neck pain, eye fatigue, and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
What Is Display Screen Equipment (DSE)?
DSE refers to devices with alphanumeric or graphic displays, such as computer monitors, laptops, tablets, and other digital interfaces. UK Health & Safety Regulations require employers to carry out DSE risk assessments to identify and mitigate hazards associated with screen use.
