Display Screen Equipment  is a range of electrical display equipment that is most often part of a computer system.

Health effects of DSE

• Musculoskeletal disorders (hand, arm, shoulder & neck)
• Eye and eyesight problems ( temporary visual fatigue )
• Fatigue and stress (high speed , less breaks, lack of social interaction)

Other Minor or alleged health effects

• Epilepsy (a common chronic neurological disorder)
• Facial dermatitis (itching , reddening)
• Radiation on pregnant women –(stress)

WRULD(Work-related neck and upper limb disorders) - Factors

Work-related neck and upper limb disorders (WRULDs) are the commonest occupational diseases in Europe. They affect the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, wrists and fingers, causing pain, discomfort, numbness and tingling sensations.

Factors leading to WRULDs can be related to task being done and the equipment used such as:

REPETITION - The need for repetitive movements when carrying out the task (example –typing for several hours)

FORCE - The physical force required to perform the task and the strain this puts on the body (example – cutting metal wires using pliers)

POSTURE - Any requirement to adopt an awkward posture (example –stooping over to pick up) 

TWISITING - Any twisting action required by the task (example –twisting the wrist when using screwdriver)

REST - Work rate that won’t allow to rest or recover from fatigue (example- working in-line assembly)

Types of Engineering Controls used to Reduce Noise in the Workplace

SILENCING – Refers to the suppression f noise generated by the flow of air, gas or steam in dusts and pipes and can be achieved by the inclusion of either absorbing material or baffles. Example – Silencer fitted on to vehicle emission.

ABSORPTION – Reduces the amount of reflected noise by using materials such as foam or mineral wool. Example – Mineral fibre marine boards (lagging) fitted on to metallic structural members of acoustic enclosures in offshore vessels.

DAMPING – Used primarily to reduce the amount of noise radiating / reverberating from large panels and is achieved by increasing the stiffness of the panel. Example – embossing onto the panel sheets, rubber-lining the panel doors etc.

ISOLATION – refers to physical separation of people from the noise source. Example – acoustic booths or havens, fitting flexible bellows in pipes etc.
