Office workers are entitled to a VDU assessment

VDU Assessor

A VDU Assessor is responsible for providing working environments that guarantee the occupational health and safety of employees where Visual Display Units (VDU) are needed to perform a role or duties.

 

This course is designed for managers, supervisors or office personnel who are required to take care of workplace safety and health regulations. Assessments help identify any possible risks associated with incorrect use of VDUs.

 

A poorly designed workstation can result in strain on the arms, back, neck, shoulders and wrists. A qualified assessor will be able to reduce the likelihood of developing these symptoms by providing practical advice and guidance.

 

On completion of this one-day course, participants will receive certification that acknowledges their ability to correctly assess whether a workplace environment is geared towards occupational health and safety best practices.

Employers are responsible for the health and safety of their staff

  • Ergonomics and anthropometrics

  • Legal requirements

  • Perceived and real hazards of VDU work
