This has always been a problem with CRT's due to the high voltages used.
Last year at work, I was told I could no longer use my laptop screen as it was against UK health and safety regulations. I was told I must plug in a crt monitor (+ desk keyboard, mouse etc) and put the monitor on a stand so that the top of the screen was at eye level.
My response was to ask for a 100% guarantee that the crt would never give me harmful effects, since all the lcd display would do (and all they were protecting against) is to give me neck ache !
Health and Safety kills people due to the lack of knowledge of the despots pushing it !!!!!
And no I didn't :pint:
