[Physstaff] DSE awareness

[Ronald Weston]

HI All,

During the past week I have had occasion, with inductions, to be in some of our PG and academic offices. I noticed that many of our people had some odd seating positions while using their computers, which may lead to some form of  upper limb disorder in the long term.
I would remind all of you that you should complete the DSE awareness online course and refresh every three years.
You can book through  eTOBS<https://bookings.strath.ac.uk/searchResults.asp?provider=Safety+Services&Go=Search+Provider>, the course is called "Display Screen Equipment On-Line Awareness". I am informed of completion and will record it in your training records.
For your information, I have attached some seating and back care information.

Regards

Ron
