This Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Training course provides the learner with an awareness of the health risks associated with working with display screen equipment. It teaches the learner how their workplace should be set up so that the chances of developing musculoskeletal problems are minimised.

Therefore, the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 require DSE users, who work with display screen equipment for the majority of their day, to receive training that teaches them how to maintain an ergonomic setup and follow safe practices.

Who should take this course?

The DSE Regulations apply to anyone whose work involves the regular use of display screen equipment.
