This basic awareness training course is intended for anyone who has a duty of care to protect their employees from any health issues while working with DSE.
Why Is DSE Risk Assessment Training Important?
Those who work with display screens can fall prey to a wide range of costly occupational health problems.
There is evidence that this hazard can contribute to increased sickness absence. Musculoskeletal disorders and psychological issues, such as stress, depression have been the largest contributors to work-related ill health in the UK in recent years, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Tackling the widespread and potentially expensive problem of DSE, needs to be a priority for any employer wishing to achieve low sickness absence and high productivity.
So, it is vital that anyone tasked with undertaking a DSE risk assessment understands the nature of the problem. In addition, understands how to conduct a risk assessment and practical measures that can protect workers from health risks.
