Display Screen Equipment Awareness
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 state that all users of display screen equipment must be trained in how to configure a workstation and that they should be regularly assessed. Poor ergonomics and bad workstation design often leads to complaints including visual fatigue, stress, muscular skeletal problems and repetitive strain injury. Therefore, consideration of ergonomic factors, careful workstation design and positioning of display screen equipment for individuals who regularly use a computer is essential.
