The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992.

چکیده
A European Community directive issued in 1990 set down minimum requirements for health and safety of visual display equipment users. These requirements have now become a legal reality in the UK with the Parliamentary approval of the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. While only a relatively small section of the legislation is directly relevant to optometric and dispensing practice it is important that the overall content of the legislation is known by members of these professions to assist them in their work with display screen equipment users. This brief review identifies the elements that make up the new legislation.
