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.
