Overview
Online Display Screen Equipment course includes a self assessment. This is the first online DSE Awareness course to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Ergonomic and Human Factors (CIEHF). The covers all aspects of training required by the UK DSE regulations.
Why is this course important?
Using DSE - both at work and in our leisure time - is such a common, everyday activity that most of us do it without thinking. And because it’s so routine, it can be easy to overlook negative aspects of using this technology. And in the workplace, priority is often given to other safety issues regarded as higher risk.
BUT, as we’ll see, using DSE can have a significant negative impact on health.
Risks to health from DSE use are not exclusive to work. As you go through the course, think about how you - and those important to you - use DSE at home and elsewhere too.
The good news is that it can be easy to minimise these risks. This online DSE Awareness course helps you achieve that and meet regulatory requirements.
There are three main health risks commonly associated with DSE use.
1. Musculoskeletal disorders (or MSDs) refer to injury, damage or disorder of the joints or other tissues in the body - think of them as ‘aches, pains and strains’. Common examples include back and neck pain, but MSDs can occur anywhere in the body. Work-related upper limb disorders is a sub-category of MSDs and includes various repetitive strain injury conditions.
2. Work-related stress, depression or anxiety causes more cases of work-related ill-health than anything else, and most working days lost overall. Pressure of work is the biggest cause of work-related stress.
Taken together, MSDs and work-related stress account for roughly 80% of all work-related ill-health.
3. Using DSE is a visually demanding thing to do. While far less likely to lead to time off work, visual fatigueinvolves a range of symptoms including blurred vision, headaches and sore, dry or tired eyes.
