The regs say that the display has to be stable, the characters have to readable without strain etc. but is there anything that mentions specific sizes of screen? (I'm trying to convince someone that a 10 yr old 14" CRT isn't OK for all day use

Dont think there is anything specific about screen size.

Perhaps its worth pointing out to your employer that a decent size monitor will be significantly less than the cost of an eye test and some glasses.

Or start complaining about vision headaches.

I'm actually trying to get someone else to buy a load of screens via us, but I think the argument will still be valid thanks for that

Don't have any definitive regs, but have a copy of our company’s VDU H&S Display screen assessment form if you'd like a copy drop me a mail via my profile.
