approximately half of the display screen users in our offices use laptop computers to do their work. this is a full working day.
what are the legal implications (if any) under dse regs with regard to laptop use.

Laptops should not be used for extended periods unless the users are provided with a means to separate the screen and keyboard. Either a separate screen or keyboard (or both) should be provided; docking stations are a good way of doing this as it eliminates the users having to plug accessories in (which some may find irksome).

Hi Paul
The DSE regs apply to laptop users as it does with desktop users. There are however additional risks to regular users of laptops.
Extensive research has been carried out by the HSE which can be found at:

Hope this helps
Neil
