I like driving at my desk!

• 1. What
• Health issues related to, or made worse, by
  working with computers or Display Screen
  Equipment (DSE) are becoming more apparent at
  STFC sites.

• 3. Learning
• Setting up your workstation correctly is as
  important for your health as adjusting your seat
  and mirror when driving a car for the first time.
  Make sure you
• Do DSE training
• Do a DSE self assessment
• Take regular short breaks from the screen
• Highlight health issues to your line manager when
  they first arise. They are easy to treat if
  caught early, but can become chronic if ignored.

• 2. Why
• The majority of STFC staff spend a large
  proportion of their time using computers.
• Musculoskeletal disorders, ranging from headaches
  and back or neck ache through to more chronic
  long term - health issues arise from poor work
  station set up using computers for long periods
  of time.

Further detail can be obtained from your local
SHE Group. On-line training and assessment is
available July 2010
