Many workers find themselves spending extended periods in front of a computer screen, whether it’s a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Without the proper training, day-to-day work can result in eye strain, repetitive strain injury, headaches, and back problems.
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 requires employers to give suitable safety training to users of computers and other types of display screen equipment (DSE).

The computer safety course provided by Phoenix helps both employers and employees to meet their legal requirements and understand computer health and safety better. In turn, you can reduce the risk of ill-health caused by the use of DSE.

You can study Phoenix’s Display Screen Equipment training course online.
