Welcome, these pages are to help you
avoid or reduce health problems arising from computer use.
They address the UK Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
regulations, following the European Directive. Anyone
can use them, see the contact page
for usage details.
Constant low-level effort, such as holding your arm out to use
the mouse, can lead to overuse injuries, and if these are
allowed to persist from one day to the next they can escalate
quickly to become more severe and hard to get rid of.
Fortunately these problems can generally be avoided by
some simple measures and good working practices.
So the two essentials are:
1. Do not endure. Act Today.
2. Do It Yourself: don't wait for someone
else to fix it for you. Most of the major changes can be made
by adjustment, or using everyday things without spending a lot
of money.
