Hi all, thanks for the response.
Yes, really. I’ve done some more searching and it appears it should be covered under the “DSE” or “display screen equipment” rules. This means that any job where the employee has to look at a screen, the employer must provide an eye test and the required prescription eye-wear. Failing that, it should be covered by the employers capability procedure. This would mean that the employer must provide the necessary equipment in order that the employee can do their job; which in this scenario would be to have mirrors fitted to the lorry.
My employer has booked an eye test for me for next week.
Cheers,
Rodders
Might be worth you measuring how far you sit from the screens. It’ll be further than you holding a book and the left one is almost middle distance.
