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.

Our DSE Assessments and Training Services
At Location Safety, we provide comprehensive DSE assessments and awareness training tailored for the fast-paced demands of the film, television, and creative industries. Our service ensures that all display screen users—from production coordinators to editors and VFX artists – work in ergonomically safe environments.

Our team can provide guidance:

  • Seating posture and support
  • Desk and screen height alignment
  • Keyboard and mouse positioning
  • Lighting, glare, and screen contrast
  • Break frequency and task rotation
  • Workstation accessories and adjustments

Benefits of DSE Awareness and Compliance:

  • Reduced risk of work-related strain and injury
  • Improved focus and productivity
  • Greater staff wellbeing and job satisfaction
  • Compliance with the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992
  • Prevention of long-term health claims and absenteeism
