Display Screen Equipment Assessor Course

Display screen equipment (DSE) assessments are not only a legal requirement – done correctly they can actually help combat the musculoskeletal disorders, reduced concentration levels and other ill-health effects that are symptomatic of time spent at poorly-designed workstations.

This course will provide an understanding of the potential hazards and risk faced by users of Display Screen Equipment, developing an understanding of safer working practices in relation to display screen equipment.

On completion of this course delegates should be able to identify risks to be considered when carrying out an assessment of workstation requirements within their work environment, enabling them to meet the requirements of the DSE Regulations 1992 (as amended).

Duration: 3 Hours

Who should attend? This course is designed for key staff responsible for cascading the information learned on the course. It is important that these staff have recently undertaken good manual handling training including elements of postural awareness and ergonomics as this provides a foundation for the DSE course.
