Display Screen Equipment Awareness (Online Course with Assessment)


Safety starts with you. 

Display screen awareness (DSE) such as computers can be found in almost every workplace. Over the last two hundred years, the use of technology in the workplace has significantly increased. When PCs were first designed, there were huge gains in productivity, but nobody really considered the effects of prolonged use on the human body. It was only when people started using computers for significant periods of time at work that the problems began to emerge.

The good news is most problems can be avoided altogether by making sure your workstation is properly adjusted and by changing your behaviour a little to promote better health.

This DSE awareness course will help you to understand how to do this and minimise any future health risks.
