I'm looking for a definition of a low reflection desk or examples of high reflection ones, to help explain one of the questions on our DSE risk assessment form.
Another way of asking the question may be a better option.
All help welcome.
Bob

I always wonder about this question and if it has come from the days of formica which could be shiny.
I reckon 'woody' desks are usually okay but anything with a formica like covering could reflect light.
It's not a question I've ever had a yes to being reflective, but always ask anyway - just in case.

Desks at my place of work have a surface which is a bit like the old style matt finish photographs so they don't reflect the light, they sort of diffuse it. Hope it helps!

I have come across desks which I did class as having a reflective surface.
I worked in an old, traditional manufacturing company. Many of their desks were very old; nothing wrong in that but many had a sheet of glass on the surface. People kept pictures and other things under this glass.
The glass reflected the light and did cause problems to some users.

I've never come across a definition - but taken it to require a subjective evaluation. On this basis, I have 'failed' 'Formica' type surfaces and others that have clearly reflected the light from luminaires or the screen image. The remedy, however, may be simply a large desk-mat.
