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