The Students’ Union accepts that all staff who perform any of the following tasks for daily, continuous spells of an hour or more are users:
• Word processing or desk top publishing
• Data Input
Such users have the right to request to have an eye examination and you will be reimbursed for this. The Students’ Union will also purchase a basic pair of glasses or contribute up to £50 towards your glasses costs if corrective eyewear is necessary for the safe use of DSE.
