Overview

Online Display Screen Equipment course includes a self assessment. This is the first online DSE Awareness course to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Ergonomic and Human Factors (CIEHF). The covers all aspects of training required by the UK DSE regulations.

Why is this course important?

Using DSE - both at work and in our leisure time - is such a common, everyday activity that most of us do it without thinking. And because it’s so routine, it can be easy to overlook negative aspects of using this technology. And in the workplace, priority is often given to other safety issues regarded as higher risk.

BUT, as we’ll see, using DSE can have a significant negative impact on health.

Risks to health from DSE use are not exclusive to work. As you go through the course, think about how you - and those important to you - use DSE at home and elsewhere too.

The good news is that it can be easy to minimise these risks. This online DSE Awareness course helps you achieve that and meet regulatory requirements.

There are three main health risks commonly associated with DSE use.

1. Musculoskeletal disorders (or MSDs) refer to injury, damage or disorder of the joints or other tissues in the body - think of them as ‘aches, pains and strains’. Common examples include back and neck pain, but MSDs can occur anywhere in the body. Work-related upper limb disorders is a sub-category of MSDs and includes various repetitive strain injury conditions.

2. Work-related stress, depression or anxiety causes more cases of work-related ill-health than anything else, and most working days lost overall. Pressure of work is the biggest cause of work-related stress.

Taken together, MSDs and work-related stress account for roughly 80% of all work-related ill-health.

3. Using DSE is a visually demanding thing to do. While far less likely to lead to time off work, visual fatigueinvolves a range of symptoms including blurred vision, headaches and sore, dry or tired eyes.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
