Display Screen Equipment
Guide to Avoiding DSE Health
Problems
Our working environment is now almost totally dominated by the use
of PCs and Laptops.
Whilst they are a necessary tool which we take for granted, they can, if used incorrectly, cause health problems. These can range from minor skin rashes and inflammations, headaches and migraine, to major upper limb disorders such as Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tenosynovitis. Eyesight problems can also occur, and in very rare cases, in susceptible people suffering from a rare condition of photo-epilepsy, even epileptic fits.
This Guide to DSE Health Problems intends to put the record
straight about the health issues involved and help you resolve any
concerns you may have. Following the advice here will help you
avoid any future health problems.
