Using Mobile Devices Safely

Display screen equipment (DSE) is a device or piece of equipment that has an alphanumeric or graphic display screen. It includes conventional display screens and laptops, touchscreens and other similar devices. Such devices when used for work and over long periods of time may compromise posture and therefore, users should understand the best ways to support a productive and healthy environment.

Computer Health and Safety is a process utilised by companies to provide a comfortable workstation to their employees. Providing a comfortable and safe workstation for users to work in can help minimise the risk of physical strain and discomfort, as well as any potential health issues that can come from prolonged periods in the workstation.

Health and safety is essential for companies looking to promote a healthy and safe way of working. Understanding how health and safety can be implemented into workstations helps to reduce the risk of work-related injuries as well as mitigating any risks and hazards that can come from using a workstation. And remember, physical stressors only make up some of the reasons that drive risk at work. Read here about mental anxieties and why we need to understand their impact too.
