Posted By Steve E One of my soft skills trainers has just returned from a 2-day course and informed me that some of the IT people have advised that CRT monitors have been banned or should only be used for short duration. I've not heard anything of this and it seems odd as we have used CRT's for decades. Can anyone give me any advise either way? Cheers Steve

Posted By Chris Packham Go and look at any store selling televisions. Many of these are still CRT systems. Take a look at a computer store. They are still selling PCs with CRT monitors. So who came up with that crazy rumour? Chris

Posted By Bill01 Where do these rumours come from... CRTs have been in use for decades and there is a whole raft of research on their use, nearly every hosehold in the country will have one and look around any office and you'll see dozens. CRTs will be around for sometime yet.

Posted By Ron Hunter I've also heard this (nonsense) from our own IT people recently. A daft or misinterpreted article in their trade press perhaps.

Posted By Della Pearlman As far as I know, CRT monitors are fine in use, and this probably refers to their disposal at the end of their life - Under the new Landfill Regulations, Hazardous Waste Regulations and the WEEE Regulations, the Environment Agency classes CRT monitors as hazardous waste, and therefore not suitable for disposal in the general waste stream/landfill. DEFRA have issued relevant guidance.

Posted By Glyn Atkinson Internal IT manual handling assessments perhaps, and hopes of lighter equipment to deliver and set up ?? Or managers wanting to have nice new thin monitors on desks? Has anyone heard of any moves - it would cost industry millions and millions for this change?
