Course Overview
Modern workplaces rely heavily on computers, laptops, and mobile devices, making Display Screen Equipment (DSE) risk management a critical part of workplace health and safety programmes. Poor workstation setup can contribute to musculoskeletal disorders, eye strain, fatigue, and reduced productivity.
This mentor-led programme equips participants with the practical knowledge required to assess workstation ergonomics and implement risk reduction measures. Through practical scenarios, learners examine workstation layout, posture risks, equipment positioning, and behavioural factors affecting employee wellbeing.
Across two days, the course explores structured workstation assessments, reporting techniques, and recommendations suitable for both office-based and remote workers. Participants gain the confidence to conduct ergonomic reviews, support staff wellbeing, and provide evidence-based improvements within workplace safety programmes.
