Using Display Screen Equipment

Getting the business benefits

The Display Screen Equipment (DSE) regulations require employers to provide training and information to DSE users and this course helps to meet these legal requirements. However, the training can deliver more than legal compliance. People who feel better, work better, and that means a more productive office. The benefits of training your staff to improve their health and comfort include decreased absenteeism and staff turnover, improved productivity and reduced healthcare costs, insurance premiums and compensation claims.
