> DSE / VDU Train the Trainer
The course entails training the delegate to complete a thorough assessment of a workstation. Subjects covered include, basic legislation, posture, demonstration, documentation and the assessment process. Workstations can then be assessed for bad posture, incorrect seat positioning, bad ergonomic set up and general environment. Once assessed corrective actions are suggested and can then be put straight into action. A full and comprehensive checklist is provided which is very useful for new starters, if you employ temporary staff or if you have staff returning to work after a period of absence, like maternity / paternity leave or long term sickness
