DSE Training (Display Screen Equipment), Page 3 Reviews

helpful to be reminded of some best practices

Very important topic and covered very well in the course.

It raised individual's awareness about health and safety around the work station. It's a good one.

1. The claim that black text on a white background is always most comfortable for our eyes, just isn't true. Some operating systems allow colour inversion (e.g., which text on a black background) and some applications have 'dark mode' so that users can find more comfortable settings. 2. 'Contacting your manager when equipment isn't working properly' isn't well specified: (a) it could include things like system settings, that the user would adjust (I think that it meant something physically broken and needing repair/replacement); (b) my manager would not deal with broken DSE equipment; it's someone else in my workplace. 3. 'Pomodoro' technique is implied but not mentioned explicitly, which seems odd. It can be useful to make a list of 'screen-break' jobs that can be completed in breaks (if you don't have table-tennis at work!). 4. No mention of mouse shape. E.g., ergonomically shaped mice can be more comfortable and those with extra buttons can reduce unnecessary mousing. 5. No mention of using displays in portrait, rather than landscape, orientation. This can be more comfortable for coding and long text documents.

Very useful for all employees before problems occur! Will replay at later time to ensure things are "ground in" and check I'm working on those practices that need to be adopted into my daily desk life.

Useful training course and very informative

The dse training was clear and knowledgeable, the speakers were very good and easy to understand and got the message through to me.

Easy to follow, well presented and educational and addressed many of the 'bad habits' we all fall into over time when it comes to DSE.
