Section 1

In this section, we’ll look at how you can minimise the risks to your physical health when you use DSE. We’ll explain how you should set up your DSE workstation and how to best use Display Screen Equipment, as well as how to maintain a good posture and why it’s so important.

Section 2

In our second section, we’ll cover the visual problems that can be highlighted when you use DSE, and we’ll explain what you can do to help prevent them. We’ll explain how things should look on your computer screen, how to handle lighting and glare, and we’ll explain how you can prevent eye strain and headaches.

Section 3

We’ve explained how sitting or standing in one position for too long can be harmful to your body, but it can also cause stress. So in this section, we’ll explain how important it is to take breaks and why changes in activity are crucial in reducing or preventing stress.

Section 4

In this final section, we cover portable display screen equipment, including laptops, tablets and phones, and we explain how you can prevent muscle and joint problems when you’re carrying them or using them on the move – this is especially important for remote or agile workers who may find themselves on the move more frequently.

About this course

Anyone who regularly uses a computer legally requires DSE Training, this is also commonly referred to as ‘Computer Health and Safety Training’ or ‘VDU (Visual Display Unit) Training’. DSE also refers to laptops, tablets, TV screens, and even smartphones.

It’s no wonder this type of training is a legal requirement when you consider the HSE reported that in 2017/18, 469,000 workers suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Taking just 30 minutes to complete, our DSE training course will show you how to carry out a DSE risk assessment (DSE Risk Assessment also included), as well as how to better arrange your existing workplace equipment to minimise common negative symptoms associated with extended periods of time spent at a computer (such as eye strain, backache, etc.)

Whatever the type or size of your company, all your employees who sit at a computer for any part of their working day should have Display Screen Equipment training. This course has been designed to increase safety and awareness and to aid compliance with workplace regulations. This DSE training programme ensures that your employees understand how best to take care of their health by ensuring that their immediate working environment is the best it can be.
