Safe Use of Display Screen Equipment
If you use a computer for work purposes, please note that you are responsible for ensuring that a DSE self-assessment checklist has been completed for your workstation/laptop set-up. The University's Health and Safety Division Code of Practice for the safe use of DSEs (VDUs), available at:
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/cam-only/offices/safety/publications/hsd005p/index.html
offers some very useful information and assistance in the safe use of computers. Two checklists are available for you to complete, at either http://www.keytools-ergonomics.co.uk/advice/assessement.asp or http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/cam-only/offices/safety/publications/hsd005p/appendix.pdf
If your self-assessment raises any concerns about your DSE work environment, please consult IT Support Services or the Faculty Safety Officer in the first instance.
