Address the ergonomic risks unique to call centre roles, from headset use to posture, with focused workstation guidance.

  • CPD Accredited
Overview

What this course covers

Call centre work combines prolonged screen time with headset wear and intensive keyboard activity, creating ergonomic risks that standard DSE training does not fully cover. This focused module addresses the good practices call centre staff should adopt to reduce strain and fatigue.

Learners cover posture, seating and equipment adjustments alongside headset use and voice care. The course works well alongside standard DSE training and helps staff recognise the early warning signs of upper limb disorders.
