Display Screen Equipment. In house courses £350 (per course).
Over one million people in Great Britain suffer from MSD's (Musculoskeletal Disorders) caused or made worse by work.
It is the employer's responsibility to take appropriate action to educate their staff on the usage of Display Screen Equipment and their working environment. They are also legally bound to risk assess each 'user' they employ to see if he/she needs any help or special ergonomic equipment. This may seem a lot of trouble for nothing, but research shows that not only is it cost effective long term it protects from any future claim for injury. Our trainers will give full training and advice on the following areas:
Posture: Our assessors will evaluate your user's posture to help improve their general well being and comfort levels.
Chair: Guidance will be offered to the user showing how their chair should be adjusted to suit their personal requirements.
Monitor (Display Screen): Our assessors will recommend correct height, distance and viewing angle of the monitor whilst exploring the users' views on text size, contrast, brightness, readability, glare and flicker etc.
Keyboard: Bad keyboard use may lead to ailments of the wrist and hand. Our assessors will advise on good keyboard practise including position, tilt and readability etc.
Mouse: Incorrect mouse use can lead to hand, wrist and forearm complaints. Our assessors recommend ways for improved mouse use, if required.
Software: Poor software or inadequate software training can lead to user frustration and/or increased stress in the workplace. Your users will be questioned to ensure they are happy with the software they are using.
Furniture: We often find that the user's workspace can be inundated with unnecessary clutter that does not aid their ability to complete their work place tasks.
Environment: On our many assessments we have discovered that heating and lighting, glare and noise can be contentious issues and difficult to solve with so many differing staff needs and opinions. Our assessors will do their best to recommend strategies to the relevant personnel on how to tackle this problem.
