Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)
DSE users must be provided with free eye and eyesight tests on request and with further tests at regular intervals. Employers should be guided by the clinical judgment of the optometrist or doctor on the regularity of testing. Union advice is to seek agreement for repeat testing at specified intervals, such as two years, or on the advice of the optometrist. Additional tests must be provided on request for users who experience visual difficulties such as headaches.
