Display Screen Equipment Awareness

Our display screen equipment awareness training courses are aimed at users of display screen equipment (DSE) and those responsible for assessing display screen equipment. A ‘user’, is anyone who regularly uses display screen equipment for a significant part of their normal work. In practice, if you use display screen equipment continuously for more than one hour a day, then you’re a ‘user’.  Eye strain injury due to screen usage can be identified by headaches, difficulty focusing, eye discomfort, watery or dry eyes and increased sensitivity to light.  Specsavers advice on computer eye strain gives some valuable tips on how to reduce the risks of daily screen usage.

But that’s not the only thing it refers to Display screen equipment could also mean laptops, tablet PCs, televisions, smartphones, CNC control pads, portable diagnostic screens or equipment containing cathode ray tubes, or CRTs.
