Display Screen Equipment (DSE) User Training
Employers need to comply with the law and that means providing employees with information and training on preventing ill health from computer use. This course deals with identifying possible risk factors that can lead to ill health and ensures employees understand how to set up and adjust their computer workstation to prevent any problems.
Fortunately, businesses who invest in training show much lower levels of complaints from employees suffering with problems such as visual fatigue, and arm pain.
