Training should include information on protecting eyesight, setting up the equipment to best fit the environment, controlling workers’ exposure to radiation, and how to minimise and reduce potential risk factors associated with using DSE. Failure to provide suitable training can mean employers are liable for any injuries that arise, hence why it is essential that companies meet their legal requirements.
