CCTV Operators

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Can somebody solve a debate?

 

Is a CCTV operator classed the same as a VDU operator and therefore come under the HSE guidelines?

 

Is there a publication thet defines the above?

 

Look forward to replies.

A cctv monitor is a video display unit, so it would stand to reason that the same standards would apply to both. The same environment is needed for the proper visualization of the monitors and repetitive stress syndrome of the keyboards/mouse, neck and eyes are the same. Check out this web site - http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/business/Environmental_Health/Health_Safety/Computer_Safety.asp Although its geared for the VDU, the same holds true for a cctv operator....this is probably going to be an ongoing debate...good luck.
