Display Screen Equipment (DSE / VDU)

When using DSE (or VDU as its commonly referred to), the risks to our health are not immediately obvious. The human body did not evolve to spend long periods of time working in a fixed position. If ignored, small aches and pains can lead to more serious health conditions, such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions can lead to lengthy periods of absence from work, make life more difficult, and more painful for employees.

Employers have a legal responsibility to conduct DSE (VDU) risk assessments. Lagom Safety Ltd based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, we can conduct DSE/VDU training on your site and additionally if required, conduct individual DSE risk assessments and a bespoke DSE/VDU policy.

Employers must conduct DSE/VDU Assessments for employees who are at a fixed workstation, wo are home workers, mobile workers, and hot desking.
