'Work with display screen equipment' (L26) gives detailed and comprehensive guidance about work with display screen equipment (often known as VDUs). It describes how to comply with the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations (referred to as the DSE Regulations).

It covers both office work and other environments where display screen equipment (DSE) may be used and is intended for people who need to consider all the detailed implications of the law. For those who just want basic practical advice on how to comply with the Regulations when using ordinary DSE in offices, an alternative publication is our shorter, illustrated book The law on VDUs: An easy guide.

The main risks that may arise in work with DSE are musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain or upper limb disorders (sometimes known as repetitive strain injury or RSI), visual fatigue, and mental stress.

While the risks to individual users are often low they can still be significant if good practice is not followed. DSE workers are also so numerous that the amount of ill health associated with such work is significant and tackling it is important.

This book sets out information, explanation or advice on each main part of the DSE Regulations. Throughout the document, extracts of the DSE Regulations are printed in italics and the guidance on them is in plain type for ease of reference.

This book gives guidance on the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, as amended by the Health and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002. The DSE Regulations came into force in 1993 to implement a European Directive, No. 90/270/EEC of 29 May 1990, on minimum safety and health requirements for work with DSE.
