DSE in Daily Practice

1. Applying Ergonomic Principles

12. Putting it into practice at Titus Learning

DSE safety is most effective when it becomes part of normal work rather than an annual compliance
exercise. At the beginning of the day, take a moment to adjust the chair, screen, keyboard and mouse. If
you move to another desk or work from a different location, reset the equipment instead of trying to
adapt your body to somebody else's setup.
During the day, notice how you are working. Keep the main task directly in front of you, bring frequently
used items within reach and enlarge content rather than leaning towards it. Vary your position and build
changes of activity into blocks of concentrated work.
Complete the Titus Learning DSE assessment when requested and repeat it when your working
arrangements or needs change. Act on the simple points you can resolve safely, and raise anything that
needs equipment, specialist advice or management support.
