Posted By Alan Nicholls Hi Paul More likely to have problems with RSI if the units are like ours. If your op's have problems reading the screens because they are small, offer them the option of eye tests. IMO Regards Alan

Posted By holmezy Paul, I don't think that the dse regs were written with this equipment in mind so from that resct, I dont think you have a legal responsibility to offer eye tests. However from a "looking after employees" and a moral point of view its not a great expense so why not. You might make them feel loved! Don't think you are under any obligation to fund the specs though. Incidentally, it doesnt matter if they have good, bad or indifferent eyesight the display will still be small so if they are required to read it, they will have to bring it closer to the eye, which would then encourage varied focal distances which may relieve eye strain. Not DSE regs. Holmezy cider tonite....

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Paul Could this equipment fall under Reg1(4) - nothing in the Regs shall apply to calculators, cash registers or any equipment having a small data or measurement display for direct use of the equipment? Paul
