About DSE Training

This awareness level training course is intended for all employees who regularly use display screen equipment as part of their work.

The purpose of this training is to provide a thorough understanding of musculoskeletal risks related to working with display screens, how they affect physical and psychological health and ways to minimise such risks at work.

Why Is DSE Training Important?

Incorrect use of display screen equipment (DSE) or poorly designed workstations or work environments can lead to ill health. The symptoms of such illness include pains in the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands. If not taken care of promptly, it can lead to life-long diseases, which in turn can impact the business and its environment.

The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 explains that employers may need to protect their employees from any risks associated with display screen equipment (DSE), such as computers and laptops.

Frequently Asked Questions

DSE Training teaches employees how to use display screen equipment safely. It covers how to set up workstations ergonomically and prevent the health risks of prolonged or improper display screen use.

DSE Training for employees helps them understand how prolonged computer use can cause adverse health effects. It also enables them to adopt proper ergonomic practices and prevent work-related injuries and health issues caused by unsafe DSE use. 

Yes. Because prolonged or improper DSE use is a recognised health hazard, training is a legal requirement. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 state that employers must provide adequate training to employees who regularly use display screen equipment.

The DSE training course has a single module, which takes about 20 minutes to complete.

Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, employers must provide appropriate training for all employees who use DSE as part of their work to ensure they can use the equipment safely and demonstrate compliance. The training must cover the health risks of unsafe DSE use and what employees can do to protect themselves.  

A display screen equipment (DSE) online course can be accessed at any time using any device connected to the internet. This flexibility lets employees fit learning around their schedules and makes it more affordable than in-person training. Employers can also monitor progress and manage training records online, making it easy to assign courses and prove compliance.

Yes. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 still apply to remote workers. Employees working remotely also have more control over their workstations and DSE setup. Additionally, they likely lack traditional desk space or office furniture. This combination of factors makes them more vulnerable to the risks of display screen use. DSE training can help them create ergonomic and healthy workspaces at home or in non-traditional work environments. 

All Human Focus courses are accredited or approved by an independent health and safety body to guarantee quality and accuracy. This course is approved by IIRSM (the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management).
