EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Employers have a responsibility to ensure employees have a safe working environment, whether in the office or at home. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005 employers must evaluate the health and safety of workstations, with particular focus on physical difficulties, eye sights issues and mental wellbeing.
EMPLOYERS MUST: |
Carry out an analysis or ergonomic risk assessment of employee workstations |
Provide information to employees in relation to measures which have been implemented |
Provide training to employees in the use of workstations before commencing work with display screen equipment and whenever the organisation of the workstation is modified
|
Perform a further analysis or ergonomic risk assessment where an employee transfers to a new workstation or significant new work equipment, change of equipment or new technology is introduced at an individual’s workstation |
Ensure that the provision of an appropriate eye and eyesight test is made available to every employee |
A typical modern workstation comprises Visual Display Unit (VDU) or Display Screen Equipment (DSE) – typically a desktop computer, chair, telephone and desk. Under the legislation, it is the employer’s duty to examine and assess the standards of health & safety of an employee’s workstation and take any corrective action necessary.
A competent person must carry out the ergonomic risk assessment of an employees workstation. A person is deemed to be competent if he or she possesses sufficient training, experience and knowledge appropriate to conduct a workstation assessment.
