Display Screen Equipment

DSE Training is a legal requirement for anyone who regularly uses display screen equipment. Our DSE Training helps you work towards compliance with The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 and helps DSE users avoid RSI, headaches, eyestrain and back problems; all of which are proven to contribute to absenteeism. Our course is IOSH Approved and includes a free DSE Risk Assessment.

Learning outcome:

• Learn how to set up your workstation correctly and stop bad habits
• Learn how to use portable devices (included in DSE) correctly
• Prevent ‘DSE Stress’ and become more productive at work as a result of good DSE

Content:

1. Physical – At Your Desk: In this section, we take you through your workstation set-up – from your chair right through to your monitor and desk equipment. You’ll learn how to achieve and maintain a good posture while you work, and you’ll learn how to best avoid the health complications associated with an unclean workstation and sitting or standing for too long.
2. Visual – Looking After Your Eyes: Our second section teaches you how to look after your eyes when you’re using DSE. It’s crucial to take regular eye breaks and to check that your computer screen and any office lighting or glare don’t cause eye -strain or headaches.
3. DSE Stress: Stress is often the outcome of using DSE incorrectly, or not giving your body the breaks or changes in activity that it needs – so this section explains how you can stay relaxed AND productive at work. We also include some optional ‘deskercise’ stretches that can be completed to relieve tension and stress.
4. Portable Devices: The fourth and final section of our DSE Training explains how to carry and use portable equipment when you’re on the move or working away from your workstation. We cover smartphones, laptops and tablets. We also include a risk assessment for you to complete after your training– to ensure that everything you use is set up correctly.
