The importance of working safely with DSE is imperative to all offices.
Working with display screen equipment rises many health risks, such as damage to eyes and the potential to hurt posture and be the cause of back problems.
Recently at the MVIS main office we have changed the layout of the offices to comply to DSE and keeping the staff at MVIS safe and healthy.
In the office we changed the desks, so they were all at the same height with shelves on the desk to put staff’s laptops at eye level to prevent slumping at desks, preventing potential neck injuries and adhering to the rules of DSE highlighted on their website.
There are many positive applications to changing the office, from having a fresh new feeling in the office that opens the mind to new ideas to improving worker health long-term looking after staffs posture and eyesight.
