This survey of 84 companies described the present status of occupational health management of VDT workers in Japan, in relation to the official Guideline (Guidelines on Occupational Health for VDT Work, 1985). The majority admitted 80% or more of their workers engage in VDT works. Four hours of VDT work per day was widely used as a criteria for the eligibility to the VDT health examination. Some specific measurement was performed at health examination among 54.8% of the companies. The most popular item was "near vision." A larger number of follow-up measures was performed with ophthalmic cases than with muscloskeletal cases. From these findings, with consideration to the results of the preceding literatures, we made 8 suggestions for the on-going revision of the Guideline: 1) including recommendation for flat panel display and portable computers, 2) widening target of VDT health education also to general workers, 3) clarification of the categorization of VDT workers, 4) offering practical measures to secure off VDT period, 5) use of subjective symptoms to screen high-risk workers, 6) supply of the latest scientific information on each measuring item, 7) periodical revision to provide state-of-the-art management, and 8) clear statement of the purpose and limitation of the Guideline.
