ABSTRACT

Rapid changes are occurring in people’s work environments and the devices that they use such as tablets, smartphones, laptops and emerging wearable technology. This raises issues for how to mitigate work-related discomfort including new strains of potential ill health brought on by new ways of working. The current Display Screen Equipment (DSE) regulations have not been updated since 2002 and have little or nothing to say about either these devices or mobile working practices.
