Display Screen Equipment assessments and ergonomic principles
Display screen equipment assessments are not only a legal requirement
- done properly they can actually help combat the musculoskeletal
disorders, reduced concentration levels and other ill-health effects
that are symptomatic of time spent at poorly-designed workstations.
There are specific legislative and best practice requirements for
the use of display screen equipment such as computers and their
configuration and use, and RoSPA can assist organisations to comply
with these requirements and thereby protect their staff from adverse
health effects.
The assistance that can be provided ranges from an audit of computer
workstations, development of suitable policies and procedures, to
assessment of individual workstations and the training of computer
users in correct working methods and posture.
