What Legacy has the 1974 H&S at Work Act left or just complacency?

Hooray, especially cogent as the digital assistants, computers, were a wonderful innovation in the meantime however, the progress or transformation has begun in the 4.0 Revolution as the roles reverse and now it is the operators that have become the assistants to digital.

Perhaps, that is why in a 2017 HSE RR 600 “Hourglass Economy of Haves and Have-nots” we do not need to include the 30% of our functionally illiterate age diverse population in learning at school nor the disproportionate number of Dyslexics in our prison system.

Maybe the UK Government 2018 Accessibility Regulations are just spin and no more effective than the UK 1993 DSE Regulations exposed by the HSE Better Display Screen RR 561 in 2007 to be completely ineffective ?

Maybe the government now more interested in the 10% or 43,000 of their employees probably also Dyslexic let alone the visually impaired or Neurodiverse at a 4 to 7 fold increased risk of early onset vision stress stress, eye-strain than the 58% of their DSE operators suffering presenteeism and 3D binocular vision loss due to over-exposure to unmitigated display screen interface visual ergonomics.

WCAG 2.1 for Websites & ISO 30071.1 for DSE Colour Contrast Validation / Calibration.

After all, the technology to link our brains directly to our computers effectively bypassing the eyes as the primary interface also avoids the Darlek like transition to “one-eyed and legless” in between as, seated immobility results in greater number of DVT & embolisms.

Or maybe, just maybe the ISO 45001 Work Exposure Limits, ISO 45003 Work-stress and Mental Health along with this Decade of Health, not that the majority of us bovered wiv the last Global WHO work/life health nudge campaign, makes a difference ?
