The first unit looks at what is classed as DSE, the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations, who is classed as a user, the duties of the employer and employees, DSE workstation assessments, DSE assessors and the health effects of using DSE.

In this unit we look at what a DSE assessment is, who can carry out a DSE assessment, the responsibilities of a DSE assessor, definitions of hazard and risk and the 5 steps to conducting a risk assessment.
Why should I study DSE awareness?
In the modern workplace it is almost impossible to get away from Display Screen Equipment (DSE) with the introduction of computers, tablets, and phones. However, what is less known about is how DSE can cause harm and what you can do to reduce this risk.

It covers the risks and best practices of using DSE as well as what measures can be put in place to reduce the risk of injury and ill-health. This training looks at workstation set-up, how to carry out a DSE assessment, relevant legislation and the responsibilities of the employer and employees. The course uses videos, interactive task, written content, and tests to maximise learning.
