Display Screen Equipment Training
Very probably all businesses will now be
working with DSE in some form or another (the most likely
being Visual Display Units (VDU) on computers). The hazards to
health are now very well documented with very substantial
compensation awards made by the Civil Courts to individuals
where the Employee has successfully claimed for Employer
negligence.
The Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment)
Regulations set out the duties on Employers to protect
against the risk to the health of Employees operating this
type of equipment.
This is a half day course that will satisfy
the requirement to provide training as required under the DSE
regulations. Typically the course content would include:
-
Basic Introduction to the Law
-
Duties of the Employer and Employee
-
Adopting a Comfortable Work Position
(Ergonomics)
-
Training Video on Office Safety
-
Details of the Range of Adjustments with
Furniture & Equipment
-
The Need a Working Pattern with Breaks from
the Screen
-
Arrangements for Eye and Eyesight Tests
-
Recognising and Reporting Problems
-
