  • We observe each user at their workstation which typically takes 20 - 30 minutes per user and provide a comprehensive VDU assessment report within 5 working days

  • VDU Assessments should be undertaken at least every 2 years however the frequency would need to be increased should the employee change workstation or if a particular health compliant arose for example.

  • A qualified VDU Assessor should complete the VDU Assessments. Where specific issues or underlying health complaints arise then a more experienced practitioner such as Health and Safety Consultant may be required.
