HSE Weekly Digest ebulletin
Issued: 4 August 2022
This week’s edition contains advice and information on making sure workers are working safely with display screen equipment.
In addition, we have guidance for those employing agency or temporary workers. There is also a reminder about getting gas appliances checked, while you can view our latest job vacancies and upcoming training courses.
All employers must protect workers from the health risks of working with display screen equipment (DSE).
Incorrect use of DSE or poorly designed workstations or work environments can lead to pain in necks, shoulders, backs, arms, wrists and hands, as well as fatigue and eye strain.

Workers are as likely to have an accident in the first six months at a workplace as during the whole of the rest of their working life.
With many seasonal jobs being filled at this time of year, it is important that employers protect the health and safety of gig economy, agency and temporary workers.

HSE recommends that now is the time to get gas appliances checked.
??Getting household gas appliances and pipes checked in summer can ensure your home is safe while also helping to keep bills lower in winter.
Homeowners should get all gas appliances (boilers, cookers and fires), flues and pipework regularly maintained and serviced every year by a qualified engineer listed on the Gas Safe Register. ?
