The Online DSE Training Course provides employees and employers with a clear, practical understanding of how to use display screen equipment safely in the workplace. Musculoskeletal disorders, eye strain, and fatigue are among the most common health problems associated with prolonged DSE use, and most of these issues are entirely preventable with the right workstation setup and working practices.
This course covers the legal requirements under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (as amended), the health risks associated with DSE use, how to set up a workstation correctly, how to carry out a DSE risk assessment, and the responsibilities of both employers and employees. It is suitable for all UK workplaces — including offices, remote and hybrid working environments, call centres, and any setting where employees regularly use computers, laptops, tablets, or other display screen equipment.
The course is delivered fully online, allowing learners to complete training at their own pace. Upon successful completion, learners receive an instant digital DSE Training Certificate, accredited by both RoSPA and CPD, providing recognised evidence of DSE awareness training for employers and compliance records.
