Display Screen Equipment Training
What is DSE Training:
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
Workstations and Assessment
If workers use display screen equipment (DSE) daily, and continuously as part of their normal work,
Employers should look at:
- the whole workstation, including equipment, furniture, and work conditions
- the job being done
- any special requirements of a member of staff, for example, a user with a disability
Where there are risks, they should take steps to reduce them.
Employers must also do an assessment when:
- a new workstation is set up
- a new user starts work
- a change is made to an existing workstation or the way it’s used
- users complain of pain or discomfort
Back Pain
Learning and maintaining good posture is one of the best ways to prevent back and neck pain. Remember the spine is not naturally straight: rather it has natural curves both slightly forward (in the lumbar region) and backward (in the thoracic region)
Back pain may occur as a consequence of excessive wear and tear, incorrect posture, incorrect lifting techniques (see manual handling blog) prolonged physical work, being overweight, lack of fitness, or underlying medical issues.
