The “Workstation DSE Assessment in Education Tool” is a practical resource designed for educational institutions to facilitate the assessment of employees designated as Display Screen Equipment (DSE) users. It underscores the significance of adhering to health and safety regulations, particularly the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations as amended by the Health and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002.

This resource emphasises the obligation of educational institutions, particularly schools, to identify employees falling within the DSE user category and evaluate their specific requirements as mandated by health and safety regulations. It defines a DSE user as an employee habitually using DSE for a significant portion of their workday. The tool underscores that once an employee is identified as a DSE user, the school must conduct a suitable DSE assessment, which should be periodically reviewed. It also highlights the importance of employee cooperation in this process.
