What it requires
reg 2 — every employer performs a suitable and sufficient analysis of the workstations used for its undertaking by users (whoever provided them) and those it has provided for operators, to assess the health and safety risks, reviews it where there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid or there has been a significant change, and reduces the risks identified to the lowest extent reasonably practicable. reg 3 — every workstation meets the requirements of the Schedule. reg 4 — users' activities are planned so that daily work on display screen equipment is periodically interrupted by breaks or changes of activity. reg 5 — at the request of a user, or a person about to become one, an appropriate eye and eyesight test by a competent person (as soon as practicable, or before the person becomes a user); further tests at regular intervals; a test on request where visual difficulties may reasonably be put down to display screen work; and special corrective appliances where normal ones cannot be used and the test shows them to be necessary. reg 6 — adequate health and safety training in the use of the workstation, before a person becomes a user, and again whenever the organisation of the workstation is substantially modified.
