  1. 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
