The Provision Of Eye Care Vouchers

Tender description

Sefton Council is looking for suitably qualified providers to provide an Eye Care Voucher Scheme. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 apply to all employees who use DSE equipment as a significant part of their working day. The regulations specify that DSE eye tests must be provided to ensure that the employee can comfortably see the screen and work effectively without visual fatigue. If necessary, basic glasses must be provided but this is for DSE use only. The requirements asked of the provider are that the scheme is easy to administer and report on and also that employees are able to get their eyes tested at a variety of locations within the Borough. As a guide to volume, 87 vouchers were issued in 2016. The provider should also be able to supply reports regarding tests carried out and glasses supplied. Keywords: Care, Medical, Eye, Voucher
