As regards
2
radiation,
the studies
conducted
overseas have shown that the radiation emitted by a visual
display unit is very low, so low that it poses no harmful
effect to health.
Current medical opinion is that the operation of
visual display units is safe and is unlikely to have
adverse effects on the health of operators, provided that
appropriate attention is given to working conditions and
suitable rest periods are given. No other measures are
therefore required to protect these operators.
From an advisory angle, Sir, the Labour
Department has published a booklet on the Health Aspects
Health
of Visual Display Units, giving detailed information and
advice on this subject. This booklet is available free of
charge to interested parties.
