One working file turns the screen equipment safety and health duties of Decreto-Lei n.º 349/93 into open questions a business answers from its own records.

This instrument reaches employers whose staff work with display screen equipment, including offices, professional services firms, software and design studios, call centres, and administrative departments in any sector. It sets minimum safety and health requirements for work with display screen equipment. The toolkit organises those duties into open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried beside each duty.

The working file walks through the employer's duties on screen equipment: assessing the workstation, arranging eye and eyesight tests, providing information and training, and consulting workers on the organisation of work. Each section presents open questions drawn from the instrument, and the business answers them from its own records. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file.

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so the business works through the questions in a single place. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Which employers fall under Decreto-Lei n.º 349/93?

The instrument applies to employers whose workers use display screen equipment in their activity. That includes offices, professional services firms, software and design studios, call centres, and administrative departments across sectors. The working file sets out the duties that follow for those employers.

What does the working file cover on workstation assessment?

It presents the employer's duty to assess the workstation against the minimum requirements in the instrument. The open questions ask the business to record how each workstation is set up and what measures were taken. The statutory text sits beside each duty so the business reads the authority's words directly.

How are eye and eyesight tests handled in the questions?

The file asks the business to record how it arranges eye and eyesight tests for workers who use screen equipment. The questions draw on the instrument's provisions on the subject. The business answers from its own records, and the answers feed into a dated compliance report.

What does the toolkit produce at the end?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. Each report reflects the answers the business gave to the open questions. The toolkit carries the statutory text beside each duty so the report can be read against the law.

How is the toolkit delivered?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. The business works through the open questions in that environment. The answers are then gathered into a dated compliance report for the business's own file.

What does the file cover on information and training for workers?

It presents the employer's duty to provide workers with information and training on the risks of screen work and on protective measures. The open questions ask the business to record what was provided and to whom. The statutory text is carried beside each duty.

Does the file cover consultation with workers on work organisation?

Yes. The file includes open questions on the employer's duty to consult workers on the organisation of work involving screen equipment. The business answers from its own records of that consultation. The answers form part of the dated compliance report.

Which articles of the instrument does the file organise?

The file organises the duties set out in Artigo 4.º to Artigo 9.º of Decreto-Lei n.º 349/93. Those provisions cover the employer's obligations on assessment, information, training, consultation, and eye and eyesight tests. The statutory text is carried beside each duty.

Can the business rely on the toolkit for legal advice?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The business answers the open questions from its own records. The dated compliance reports record those answers for the business's own file.

What does the business need to answer the open questions?

The business answers from its own records, such as workstation assessments, training records, and consultation notes. The questions are organised by phase so the business works through them in sequence. The statutory text sits beside each duty for reference.
