Course Content
What DSE covers and why correct set-up matters
DSE assessment training online explains that DSE is a term that covers a wide range of equipment, and that if equipment like this isn't set up correctly, users are at increased risk from certain disorders.
Protecting your body
The course covers protecting your body, giving assessors a practical starting point before moving into the specifics of chair, screen and workstation adjustment.
Adjusting your chair, screen and workstation layout
DSE assessment training online covers adjusting your chair, adjusting your screen, and adjusting the layout of your workstation, so assessors know exactly what to check during a DSE assessment.
Work arrangements and your work environment
The course covers work arrangements and adjusting your work environment, recognising that DSE risk isn't only about the equipment itself, but how and where it's used.
Risk assessment overview and sensible risk management
The course covers a risk assessment overview and the principles of sensible risk management, giving assessors a structured approach rather than an ad hoc checklist.
Key health and safety legislation
DSE assessment training online covers key health and safety legislation, so assessors understand the legal basis for carrying out DSE assessments.
DSE hazards, risks and assessments
The course covers DSE hazards and risks alongside DSE assessments themselves, giving assessors both the theory and the practical process to follow.
Control and prevention strategies
The course finishes with control and prevention strategies, so assessors leave with practical actions to reduce identified risks, not just an understanding of what those risks are.
