DSE Training Online UK – Display Screen Equipment Awareness

Workstation and display-screen safety awareness

DSE Training Online UK

The DSE Training Online UK course helps employees understand the health and safety risks associated with regular use of display screen equipment, including computers, laptops and workstation setups. It is relevant to office, hybrid and home-working staff who use screens as a normal part of their work.

Learning247 offers current CPD-accredited and video-based Display Screen Equipment awareness training with online study and completion certification.

What You Will Learn

• Common risks from prolonged display-screen work
• Good posture and workstation positioning
• How to adjust chairs, screens and desk equipment
• Lighting, reflections and glare awareness
• Breaks and changes of activity
• How workstation assessments help identify problems
• How and when to report discomfort or concerns

Important: DSE Awareness Does Not Replace the Employer Assessment

HSE states that employers must provide suitable health and safety training and information for DSE users. Where workers use DSE daily as part of normal work continuously for an hour or more, employers must also carry out a workstation assessment.

Online awareness software can support the process, but HSE makes clear that software or self-assessment alone is not the complete assessment. A trained assessor should review results, resolve doubtful points and ensure problems are addressed.

Who Is This DSE Course For?

• Office-based employees
• Hybrid and home workers
• Administrators and customer-service staff
• Managers supervising screen-based teams
