Course Description

Your workstation might look calm, tidy, and under control. But behind the identical desks and glowing screens, hidden
risks can make you uncomfortable, causing strains and even long-term injuries. So, what’s really going on at your
workstation, and how can you make changes to protect your health?

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) covers more than just desktop computers. In the modern age, people are just as likely
to use laptops, tablets, touchscreens, and other devices, but misusing them can affect posture and overall well-being.
This course explains what DSE truly is and how to use it properly to help you stay safe and pain-free when using a
computer workstation.
