| Abstract |
This decree is applicable to premises in which employees regularly work with VDT equipment for a substantial part of the working time. The employer is bound by certain obligations in connection with the analysis and organisation of screen work, in connection with information and training for employees working with VDT equipment, and arrangements for medical supervision. The decree includes specific provisions concerning equipment (screen, keyboard, etc.) and the working environment (radiation, humidity, noise, lighting). The decree will come into force on 1 January 1993, but in the case of equipment in operation prior to this date, certain provisions will not come into force until 1 January 1997. |
