Health and Safety Law 2021 (October 2021)

Chapter 8

Work equipment and coronavirus

[ch 8: pages 155]

In terms of health and safety and work equipment, the major area of union concern during the coronavirus pandemic has been over PPE covered under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (PPE Regulations) (see pages 165-167). Also particularly important during this period, because of the increase in people homeworking, is the safe use of display screen equipment (DSE) while working at home covered in the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (DSE Regulations).
