Display Screen Equipment

ETD’s DSE training helps those who work with display screen equipment to avoid strains and musculoskeletal injuries. 

If you find yourself constantly rubbing your eyes, straining your neck, struggling with headaches or feeling pain in your wrists and back, you’re likely suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). 

This injury occurs frequently in people who aren’t using the correct display screen equipment (DSE) or are using DSE incorrectly. Excessive use of DSE can cause long-term damage to your health without you even knowing it. That’s why ETD has developed the Display Screen Equipment Course. This training will show you how to avoid RSI while using screens and other office equipment. The course is ideal for workforces in need of DSE training but is also applicable to anyone who simply wishes to learn more about the health and safety risks associated with DSE.
