What does the Health and Safety Act say about prescription screen glasses?

Vanuit de Arbowet is iedere werkgever verplicht ervoor te zorgen dat werknemers veilig hun werk kunnen doen. Ook beeldschermwerk mag geen gevaar opleveren voor iemands veiligheid en gezondheid. Om werknemers te beschermen zijn er een aantal regels opgesteld: voorafgaand aan de beeldschermwerkzaamheden of bij het ontstaan van oogklachten, moeten werkgevers hun werknemers de mogelijkheid bieden om een oogonderzoek te ondergaan. Wanneer er wordt geconstateerd dat een beeldschermbril kan helpen tegen de klachten, is de werkgever verplicht de kosten voor de beeldschermbril te vergoeden. Werknemers die een leesbril nodig hebben en beeldschermwerk verrichten, hebben standaard recht op een beeldschermbril vergoed door hun werkgever.
