This consultative document seeks views on proposals form the Health & Safety Commission
(HSC) for new Regulations and associated guidance on work with display screen equipment.
Drafts of the Regulations and guidance are at Appendices 1 and 2 respectively. The regulations
are intended to implement within Great Britain provisions of European Community Directive
90/270/EEC, reproduced at Appendix 3.
2.
The draft guidance seeks to explain systematically and amplify where necessary the
requirements of each regulation. It will be revised in the light of comments received and then
published using the same format. In addition it is proposed to publish summary guidance setting
out what employers need to do to comply with the regulations without detailed reference to the
regulations themselves. A leaflet for display screen users will also be published. The latter
publications will replace the current HSE publications on VDU's.
