VDU work decree Explanation: This report conveys to what extent the VDU work decree has been put into practice within companies. It contains orientation guidelines for creating collective agreements on VDU work as well as for selecting suitable methods and procedures for assessing working on VDUs. The report emphasises that more effort needs to be made within companies to put the regulations of the VDU work decree and of the Health and Safety Act into practice. The VDU work decree is not sufficiently being applied to practical intracompany health and safety. The structure and contents of the collective agreements researched indicate to large extent that the aims and requirements of the health and safety regulations have not yet been recognised within companies. The available orientation guidelines for creating suitable collective agreements for working on VDUs should provide lasting support to this process of putting the regulations into practice. The aim of these orientation guidelines is that one considers the health and safety of employees as a permanent issue, which is to be constantly adapted by means of self-initiative and cooperation within the company. The presentation of methods for assessing working on VDUs and the recommendations for selecting assessment instruments supports the people responsible for assessing the risks to health and safety. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-17 20:39:52 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- VDU = visual display units Reference: http://www.baua.de/english/info/fa/fa43_e.htm |

peer agreement (net): +1Regulation for computer workplaces Explanation: The proper German term is "Bildschirmarbeitsplatzverordnung" (BildscharbV) and seem to be coupled with the EU Guideline 90/270/EWG. "These guidelines create the basis for a consistent and efficient design of modern software and ensure a good user interface design from a software-ergonomic point of view. This point is especially important with reference to the EU-guideline 90/270/EWG, valid since January '93 for user-friendly computer workplace design." Just one reference of many is given below.
