Course Curriculum

The course contains six focused modules covering workstation ergonomics, visual comfort, break management, mobile working, digital workflows, and personal wellbeing.

Introduction

The introduction explains the importance of safe and comfortable screen use and introduces the ergonomic principles covered throughout the course. Learners consider how workstation design and everyday digital habits can affect workplace comfort.

Module 01: Ergonomic Principles and Workstation Design

This module explores how different workstation components can be adjusted to support better posture and comfort. Learners examine chairs, foot support, peripherals, repetitive strain risks, and environmental factors such as lighting, noise, and temperature.

Module 02: Visual Ergonomics and Screen Setup

Learners explore screen height, viewing distance, brightness, contrast, resolution, glare, and other factors that can affect visual comfort. The module also covers managing visual fatigue, appropriate screen breaks, and recognising symptoms that should be reported.

Module 03: Break Management and Mental Wellbeing

This module examines the relationship between prolonged screen use, physical inactivity, mental load, and fatigue. Learners explore microbreaks, task rotation, posture changes, stress signals, cognitive fatigue, and workplace approaches that can support wellbeing.

Module 04: Safe Use of Mobile and Hybrid Work Equipment

Learners develop knowledge of using laptops, tablets, phones, and other equipment safely outside a traditional desk setup. The module considers temporary workstations, equipment transport, load management, and employer responsibilities for remote and hybrid DSE users.

Module 05: Digital Workflow Efficiency and Ergonomic Practices

This module connects digital efficiency with healthier working habits. Learners explore keyboard shortcuts, input optimisation, file organisation, managing multiple windows, efficient email and messaging habits, and appropriate automation of repetitive digital tasks.

Module 06: Personal Health Integration for Screen Workers

Learners explore everyday habits that can complement healthy screen-based working, including hydration, meal timing, desk-based movement, breathing techniques, and sleep routines. The focus is on maintaining concentration, comfort, and recovery alongside regular screen use.

Conclusion

The conclusion reinforces the key principles covered throughout the course, including workstation setup, visual comfort, movement, mobile working, digital efficiency, and personal wellbeing. Learners consolidate their understanding of healthier screen-use practices before completing the assessment.

FAQs

Who should take DSE training?

It can be suitable for office workers, remote employees, hybrid workers, administrative staff, managers, customer service employees, and anyone who regularly uses screens for work.

What does DSE training cover?

The course covers workstation setup, posture, screen positioning, visual ergonomics, breaks, mobile working, digital workflow habits, and factors affecting physical and mental comfort.

How should a computer workstation be set up?

A workstation should be adjusted to support a comfortable posture, with the screen, chair, keyboard, mouse, and other equipment positioned to suit the individual. Lighting and glare should also be considered.

Why are breaks important when using a computer?

Regular changes of activity and movement can help reduce prolonged static posture and screen-related fatigue. Break arrangements should reflect the work being performed and workplace guidance.

Is DSE training required in Canada?

Workplace requirements vary by province, territory, employer, and job type. Employers should follow the occupational health and safety requirements that apply to their workplace and work arrangements.

Does DSE training apply to remote workers?

Yes. Ergonomic principles can apply to home and hybrid workstations as well as traditional offices. Remote workers can benefit from reviewing how their laptop, screen, chair, lighting, and work area are arranged.

The workstation setup information was straightforward and easy to apply. I changed a few things at my desk after completing the course and found the guidance useful

I work from home most of the week, so the sections on laptops and temporary workstations were especially relevant. The online format was convenient and easy to follow.
