Posted By Robert Weiland One of our managers over the weekend has decided to change the details of the company sales database. Whereas it was over two screens and easy to read it's not over one and hard due to the small font size. Is there a regulation with regards to a specified size ? I have had numerous complaints that people are finding it difficult to read and until I can show them something in black and white I don't think they will budge.

Posted By Sean Fraser The VDU Checklist in L26 - Work With Display Screen Equipment has this as the first 2 check points: 1] Are the characters clear and readable? - Make sure the screen is clean and cleaning materials are made available. 2] Is the text size comfortable to read? - Software settings may need adjusting to change text size. I'm pretty sure that the justification for these check points is buried somewhere in the Regs themselves. Also, print off the free information leaflets from the HSE - you'll find the same information repeated there. Not sure if the Disability Discrimination Act applies to this aspect but it is simply good sense to make your products and services accessible to all people working there. Poor and restricted vision is a disability that needs kept in mind.
