Do You Comply With Display Screen Equipment Regulations?
Does your organisation have employees that use display screen equipment in an office, while working at home or when going out to visit customers or clients? If so, then the Display Screen Equipment Regulations apply to your company.
Does your organisation provide training to these employees? You should be aware that Regulation 6 of the Display Screen Equipment Regulations states that an employer must train every user in the hazards and safe use of workstations.
If you are not training your employees, then you could be subject to an improvement notice, prosecution or an increased risk of a civil claim against the organisation. The provision of training is not a matter of choice or optional, it is an absolute requirement.
Certification
On successful completion of the course you will receive a quality assured certificate
through the post within 5 days. This can be used to provide evidence for compliance
and audit.
