This awareness level training course is intended for employees who work with laptops as part of their daily work and their employers.
The course provides users with an understanding of safety measures and practices when working with laptops or display screens.
Why Is Laptop Work Safety Training Important?
Incorrect use of display screen equipment (DSE), poorly designed workstations and work environments can cause a variety of health issues. The symptoms of such issues include pain in the neck, back, shoulders, arms, wrist, fatigue or eye strain.
These issues are costly in terms of pain and suffering, sickness absence and lost productivity. They can also result in civil claims.
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 applies to workers who use DSE as part of their everyday job for continuous periods of an hour or more. The legislation puts a legal duty on employers to protect their worker’s health by undertaking display screen equipment risk assessment for their workstations.
