In a nutshell, DSE stands for Display Screen Equipment. Essentially, this term refers to any type of electronic device that features a display screen – for example, a laptop, monitor, tablet or TV. DSE covers traditional screens and touchscreen devices, as well as projectors, machinery displays, and interactive whiteboards.
Many of us use a range of DSE on a daily basis, particularly in the workplace. While these devices bring many benefits, they can also cause discomfort if we don’t use them safely. You might experience eye strain, neck ache, repetitive strain injury, or other issues.
A DSE assessment looks at your usage of Display Screen Equipment so you can adapt your setup and work as safely and comfortably as possible.
