This DSE Training for Home Workers course will provide you with an understanding of the hazards associated with incorrect DSE use. You will learn how to set up your workstation correctly to help prevent ill health, such as musculoskeletal disorders. The course will also explain how to adopt good postures, exercises, and movements to reduce physical strain when using DSE, as well as other factors to consider, such as the environment you work in and how to minimise eye strain.
Working from home can provide employees with many benefits. With the number of people working from home continually increasing, it's essential that home workers understand how to carry out their duties safely. Display screen equipment (DSE) is used by many people in almost every type of workplace, including by home workers. Employers are required by law under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations to ensure their employees can use their DSE safely, regardless of whether they are working in a workplace or from home.

On successful completion of the course you will be sent a quality assured certificate through the post the next working day. This can be used to provide evidence for compliance and audit.
This certificate does not have an expiry date. However, based on industry best practice guidelines, the recommended renewal period for this training is 1 year. We will print this recommended renewal date on your certificate.
