Course description
What is Phoenix's Display Screen Equipment Training?
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 requires employers to give suitable safety training to users of computers and other types of display screen equipment (DSE).
In a world where many workers spend extended periods in front of a computer screen, whether it’s a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, effective training is more crucial than ever. Without it, day-to-day work can result in eye strain, repetitive strain injury, headaches, and back problems.
Phoenix’s DSE training course helps both employers and employees to meet these legal requirements and understand computer health and safety better. In turn, reducing the risk of ill-health caused by using DSE.
