The INSST has developed a computerised version called “PVCHECK” with criteria and recommendations that can help interpret and apply Royal Decree 488/1997, of 14 April.
The test includes a series of instructions to carry out the assessment, as well as the necessary indications to verify the degree of compliance with RD 488/1997 on VDTs and verify other technical aspects of the ergonomic preparation of the post.
The test is used as a basis to perform statistical studies that are going to allow us to discover the problems that are most frequently seen in a group of posts with VDTs, in a certain firm or group of users to carry out the necessary corrections. It is also very useful to try to adapt new equipment, furniture and software programs before their definite implementation.
