The digital age has meant that more and more of us are using display screen equipment (DSE) for work. While this has made a lot of things easier, there are a number of hazards you should be aware of.  The Health and Safety Regulations (1992) includes the rights and responsibilities of employees and employers in regards to DSE.  If you use DSE as part of your daily work duties for more than an hour continuously, then this legislation applies to you and could play a big part in your physical well-being.

Course OverviewIf you’ve ever hurt yourself lifting something, then you’ve, unfortunately, joined a not very exclusive club. Injuries when lifting or moving objects are commonplace in any industry as well as around the home. It’s true that some of these injuries aren’t especially severe, and, although painful, sprains or strains are the likely outcome of a manual handling injury. But even relatively small injuries can mount up and lead to things that put you out of action for weeks, or worse.The associated costs – physically, mentally, and monetarily – of a manual handling injury to an individual can be awful. Across an industry, it can be devastating. But there’s no need to panic and curl up in bubble wrap just yet. With some training, and a little care, you can help to protect yourself and others around you from these injuries. That’s where this course comes in.Learning Objectives<ul><li>Identify the leading causes of manual handling injuries and identify common risks</li><li>Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of safe manual handling</li><li>Explain the provisions of manual handling regulations</li></ul>Business OutcomesManual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work, accounting for over a third of all workplace injuries. As an employer, you have a duty of care to protect employees from lifting hazards. As an employee, you must be able to demonstrate an appropriate level of knowledge to stay safe while manual handling. Doing so will help prevent and reduce the risks of injury and save unnecessary pain and expense.

From brides slipping over on a dance floor, to a toddler tripping over a yapping dog; they’re all great, aren’t they?It’s not so funny when the person slipping and injuring themselves is you though.
