Display Screen Assessment

The course entails training the delegate to complete a thorough assessment of a workstation(s). Subjects covered include, basic legislation, posture, demonstration, documentation and the assessment process. Workstations can then be assessed for bad posture, incorrect seat positioning, bad ergonomic set up and general environment. Once assessed corrective actions are suggested and can then be put straight into action. A full and comprehensive checklist is prepared which is very useful for new starters, if you employ temporary staff or if you have staff returning to work after a period of absence, like maternity / paternity leave or long term sickness

We will carry out assessments on selected workstations with the nominated trainees, this way there will continuity when the time comes for them to carry out further assessments. Upon completion the delegate should be able to:

Understand the reasons why assessments are undertaken

Have an understanding of current legislation

Be able to explain the main hazards associated with incorrect set up

Demonstrate to the user correct set up, techniques and posture.

Carry out a basic DSE assessment and record the findings

The course is conducted in-house

The maximum number of delegates per training session is 4. Each session takes around 3 ½ hours.
