Display Screen Equipment Risk Assessment
The Display Screen Equipment Regulations 2002 require a risk assessment to be undertaken periodically for all people who use Display Screen Equipment on a regular basis. This equipment includes PCs, laptops, retail checkouts, some machinery, process displays, microfiche, cinematographic equipment, security screens and the area in which it is used. We are experienced at carrying out high volume risk assessments.
When do we carry out Display Screen Equipment Risk Assessments?
- For all new users and potential users
- When a job changes significantly i.e. answering phones to copy typing
- When the work area changes
- If the user is diagnosed with work related upper limb disorders or thinks they may be suffering from this condition
- Periodically for example every 2 years as good practice
