DSE Training and Regulations
The DSE Regulations came into force on 1 January 1993 (some minor changes were
made in 2002). They put into UK law a European Community Directive which seeks
to protect the health of your workers by reducing risks from VDU work. Briefly, the
Regulations require employers to:
■ analyse workstations to assess and reduce risks;
■ ensure that workstations meet specified minimum requirements;
■ plan work activities so that they include breaks or changes of activity;
■ provide eye and eyesight tests on request, and special spectacles if needed;
■ provide information and training
The DSE Regulations apply where there are people who ‘habitually use display screen
equipment as a significant part of their normal work’. So, not everyone who uses a
VDU is covered by the Regulations - only those most likely to be at risk. You need
to decide who these people are. Remember to include homeworkers and agency
‘temps’.
