Display Screen Equipment (DSE) and Workstation Safety

This is the part where we tell you that prolonged sitting can be dangerous for your health, because it can be!

 Working with a poor workstation setup can lead to fatigue and soreness of the fingers, hands, wrists shoulders and neck, and in more severe cases, can lead to injuries in these areas. We call these 'musculoskeletal injuries' or ‘MSDs’. When we are thinking about desk set up and how we work, we also need to consider the stress we are under. Stress is a major cause of occupational ill health.
