Workstation H&S Assessment

The daily use of computers is now a fact of working life for most local authority employees. This means that all local authorities are obliged under The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (amended in 2002) to carry out risk assessment for each computer user.
 
This could be a hugely onerous task for all concerned, but there is now an automated online system which addresses the challenge effectively and efficiently.
