DSE & Workstation Safety Training
If your staff use a computer for a large part of their day, Irish health and safety law requires you to assess their workstations and train them to use them safely. This course shows your team how to set up a desk, chair and screen that suits them, in the office or at home. Your trainer is an approved Manual Handling Instructor with more than 10 years of senior management experience.
What the course covers
- How poor workstation set-up leads to neck, back, wrist and eye strain
- Setting up your chair, desk, screen, keyboard and mouse correctly
- Laptops, dual screens and working from home
- Posture, regular breaks and simple desk stretches
- Completing a DSE self-assessment checklist
- Reporting discomfort and asking for adjustments
Who it's for: office, admin, reception, contact centre, hybrid and remote teams, and anyone who uses a screen for much of the day.
Format: 2 to 3 hours, onsite at your workstations or live online. It can be combined with Manual Handling Training in a single visit. From €300 per half-day for the group, not per person. CPD credits are available as an option at an additional cost.
Prefer to train remotely? We can deliver this course live online through Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or whatever platform your business already uses, with staff setting up their own workstation as we go.
