What is this forums view on using the DSE regulations to include users of PDA's.
I know there is a usage time, but this issue is based around staff whose role depends on the use of these for work orders, work schedules, time sheets, materials ordering.
This is the very system that runs a department.

Hi Ian,

The Guidance explicitly states that PDAs are Display Screen Equipment in the meaning of the regs, especially where they are in 'prolonged use'. How you apply the regs to PDAs will depend on the specifics of your situation,

Its in the guidance to the regs, what it says is this:

'So the DSE Regulations do apply to portable DSE in prolonged use - which can include laptop and handheld computers, personal digital assistant devices and some portable communications devices',

you'll find it in paragraph 23,

John
