For immediate Release
Carrying out a VDU risk assessment is critical in ensuring the safety and welfare of employees, but often the assessment can be inconvenient, time-consuming, disruptive and expensive to carry out.
United Kingdom, August 2010 – As more work than ever is carried out on the computer the need for carrying out an appropriate and effective VDU risk assessment is more important now than ever before. It is often mistakenly thought that because monitors and VDU equipment today is built with health and safety in mind and does not carry the same degree of risk which older monitors and VDU equipment used to, the VDU risk assessment policies may not be as stringent. However an employer’s duty of care and compliance with current health and safety legislation does require accurate and effective safety assessments and risk assessments of any and all display equipment used by employees.
ComplyWise is one of the UK’s leading risk assessment experts and have introduced a new system for use by employers in carrying out a VDU risk assessment in a way which is not only effective but also much more convenient than any other risk assessments that may be carried out. ComplyWise are aware of the fact that in many cases carrying out a risk assessment involves a great deal of paperwork as well as a great deal of time. Additionally carrying out a risk assessment can often cause interruptions to occur throughout the working day. The VDU risk assessment scheme provided by ComplyWise manages to solve these problems.
The VDU risk assessment available from ComplyWise is completed electronically by the employee at a convenient time whilst sitting at their desks in front of the computer. The detailed yet informative questions ask the employee to carry out an effective VDU risk assessment, with the results being sent for collection by the employer.

The VDU risk assessment available from ComplyWise can be carried out at a convenient time, cutting down on disruption, and as it is completed electronically the assessment is both quicker and cheaper to carry out.
