Supporting pregnant workers - a union reps guide (September 2016)

Chapter 4

Working with Display Screen Equipment (DSE)

[ch 4: page 52]

The HSE says that pregnant women need not stop working with DSE and that many scientific studies have been carried out which taken as a whole “do not show any link between miscarriages or birth defects and working with DSE”. The HSE advises women who are concerned about this to talk to their GP or visit the HSE website.
