Description
If you work with display screen equipment, such as computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones, then obtaining a Display Screen Equipment training certificate is highly recommended. This certification is essential for anyone who wants to ensure their own well-being and promote a safe working environment.
Why should you take this Display Screen Equipment training course?
Our Display Screen Equipment training course is specifically designed to address the risks and hazards associated with prolonged use of DSE. By taking this course, you will gain valuable insights into best practices for using DSE, preventing injuries, and avoiding eye problems.
Is Display Screen Equipment training mandatory?
In the UK, the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 outline the obligations employers have to providing Display Screen Equipment (DSE) training to employees that use VDUs, laptops or other electronic devices in the workplace.
In essence, Display Screen Equipment training is mandatory and must be carried out for all DSE users, even if they only use that equipment for a short time. The training is designed to ensure employees know how to use the equipment safely and in an ergonomically sound manner.
Buying for your team?
Training should include information on protecting eyesight, setting up the equipment to best fit the environment, controlling workers’ exposure to radiation, and how to minimise and reduce potential risk factors associated with using DSE. Failure to provide suitable training can mean employers are liable for any injuries that arise, hence why it is essential that companies meet their legal requirements.

What is covered in this Display Screen Equipment course?
Our comprehensive Display Screen Equipment course covers the following topics:
Introduction to Display Screen Equipment (DSE): In this section, we provide an overview of what DSE encompasses. You will learn about the different types of display screen equipment, including computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. We discuss the importance of DSE in today’s digital workplace and the potential risks associated with prolonged use.
Common injuries associated with poor use of DSE: This section delves into the various injuries that can occur due to improper use of DSE. We explore issues such as musculoskeletal disorders, repetitive strain injuries, and back and neck problems. Understanding these risks is crucial for adopting correct posture, workstations ergonomically, and implementing appropriate preventative measures.
Best practices for using DSE and ergonomic considerations: Here, we provide practical guidance on how to use DSE correctly to minimise the risk of injuries. Participants will learn about proper workstation setup, including chair and desk ergonomics, monitor positioning, keyboard and mouse usage, and the importance of regular breaks and stretching exercises. We emphasise the significance of maintaining good posture and making adjustments to suit individual needs.
Eye problems related to DSE and effective prevention strategies: Prolonged exposure to DSE can lead to eye strain, dryness, blurred vision, and other eye-related issues. In this section, we explore the impact of DSE on eye health and discuss strategies to prevent and alleviate these problems. Topics covered include proper lighting, adjusting screen settings, regular eye exercises, and the benefits of taking visual breaks.
Safe use of mobile and handheld DSE devices: With the increasing use of smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices, it is essential to address the safety considerations associated with their use. This section focuses on best practices for using mobile and handheld DSE devices, including proper hand and wrist positioning, reducing glare, and avoiding excessive use that may lead to repetitive strain injuries.
Throughout the course, we use engaging video-based modules to illustrate concepts, provide practical demonstrations, and share real-life examples. We also incorporate interactive elements, such as quizzes and scenario-based questions, to reinforce learning and ensure active participation.
By the end of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and best practices for using display screen equipment.
