Display Screen Equipment Awareness

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Awareness

IIRSM & IOSH Approved

Our Display Screen Equipment Awareness course is designed for individuals who use display screen equipment (DSE) regularly and for those responsible for conducting DSE assessments in the workplace. A ‘user’ is defined as anyone who operates display screen equipment for a significant portion of their working day. Typically, this includes anyone using DSE continuously for an hour or more each day.

What is Display Screen Equipment?

While computer monitors are the most common example, DSE includes a wide range of devices. This can encompass laptops, tablets, televisions, smartphones, CNC control interfaces, portable diagnostic screens, and equipment with cathode ray tubes (CRTs).

Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations, both employers and DSE users have specific responsibilities to ensure safe usage. These regulations are in place to reduce the risk of health issues caused by improper DSE setup, such as musculoskeletal problems, eye strain, and fatigue.

This course meets statutory training requirements and focuses on how to properly set up and use display screen equipment to minimise health risks, ensuring a safer and more productive working environment.
