VDT Breaks Sample Clauses
The VDT Breaks clause establishes the requirement for providing employees with regular breaks when working at a Visual Display Terminal (VDT), such as a computer screen. Typically, this clause specifies the frequency and duration of breaks, for example, mandating a short rest period after a set amount of continuous screen time. Its core practical function is to protect employee health and well-being by reducing eye strain and fatigue associated with prolonged VDT use.
