Overview:

Many millions of people now spend all their working days sitting in front of display screens whilst operating personal computers. This sedentary lifestyle, and the postures and repetitive physical activity involved can cause serious health problems in both the long and short term. By learning how to adopt a safe seating position and posture, and how to correctly adjust and operate the equipment involved, the risk of health problems arising from the use of VDUs and inappropriate workstation arrangements are significantly reduced.

What does this mean to the learner’s company?

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment ) Regulations 1992 place significant responsibilities upon employers for the health and safety of their staff. This course will enable the learners to take positive action in respect of their own health and safety, so making compliance with the law easier and more effective for the organisation.
