DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Awareness

Course Summary – DSE Awareness

Working with computers and screens is part of everyday life, but if equipment is used incorrectly it can lead to aches, eye strain and long-term health issues.

This course has shown you how to:

• Set up your workstation correctly, starting with the chair, desk, and screen.

• Use your keyboard, mouse and laptop safely to avoid repetitive strain.

• Take short, regular breaks and follow the 20-20-20 rule to protect your eyes.

• Apply the same good practice at home, in the office, or when hot-desking.

• Know your responsibilities as an employee, including reporting discomfort early, and your rights to an eyesight test.

The key message: Small adjustments and regular breaks make a big difference. Good DSE habits protect your comfort, health and productivity both now and in the future.
