Course Overview
Display Screen Equipment (DSE) work is now a central part of many roles, making it essential for organisations to manage the risks associated with prolonged computer use. Poor workstation setup and working habits can lead to musculoskeletal issues, eye strain, fatigue, and reduced productivity. This course equips participants with the practical knowledge required to identify and reduce these risks.
This mentor-led programme introduces the principles of DSE risk assessment, legal expectations, and practical methods for evaluating workstations. Participants will explore real-world assessment approaches, including office, hybrid, and remote working environments. The course focuses on recognising hazards, implementing adjustments, and supporting employees in maintaining safe working practices.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners will practise conducting DSE assessments and producing clear recommendations and reports. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to confidently support organisations in maintaining safe, comfortable, and productive display screen working environments.
