Visual Display Policy

Also included in Staff Handbook

Free Samples PDF | Word

This Visual Display Policy is intended for any organisation who has employees who regularly use computers during the course of their employment. Under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (Amended 2002) every employer should carry out a risk assessment of their computer workstations.

Employers also have to offer every applicable employee free eye tests every year.

This Visual Display Policy includes the following three documents:

• Policy to cover the Regulations.
• Comprehensive Risk Assessment Form.
• Free Eye Test Record Sheet.

By law, all employers must adhere to the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations. Using this policy and risk assessment form will show your compliance. Also, if as an employee you do not have a policy in place and an employee makes a claim for an injury associated with computer use, (for example a repetitive strain injury), you may well have to pay compensation.
