Computer workstations or equipment can be associated with neck, shoulder, back or arm pains, fatigue and eyestrain. In the worse cases this can lead to repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and work related upper limb disorders (WRULD). It is a legal responsibility to assess the risks to employees using this type of equipment and to implement appropriate control measures. This course is designed to enable your nominated employees to undertake suitable and sufficient risk assessments and to take effective remedial action.
