Press Release Summary = Huge cost and time savings on employee eye examinations
Press Release Body = The Health & Safety Executive have issued very clear guidelines outlining employer's responsibilities regarding staff & the use of VDU's / Workstations.
This has serious cost implications for all employers and historically most national & international companies risk-manage the cost implications by contracting out to a single supplier with multi outlets. This solution may work well as far as the cost of the eye examination itself, but the real cost to the employer is in the lost man hours that facilitate staff eye examinations.
www.specslab.co.uk Europe's Favourite Optician announced this week the launch of their mobile eye examination units. Offering on site eye examinations to all corporate employers this launch reflects the single largest employee health care cost saving opportunity in recent years.
www.specslab.co.uk mobile eye examination units are trailer mounted, fully equipped with the most advanced test equipment currently available and easily parked on site. Alternatively they can set up a facility inside the clients own premises provided they are provided with a secure environment. An eye examination via the www.specslab.co.uk facility can be accurately carried out within 15 to 20 minutes, thus achieving a maximum "off station" time of 30 minutes or in labour cost terms an average of £9.00. Compare this to the national current average off site time of 4 hours and the savings are obvious. (Assumes an hourly rate of £18.00)
Each unit also carries the full range of www.specslab.co.uk f rames, so the employee can physically try the products on, choose a frame and have the glazed product delivered to either the company or their home usually within 5 working days. (www.specslab.co.uk standard terms of trading allow for delivery of products within a maximum of 28 days)
If the employer purchases the product on behalf of the user as part of their employment contract obligations (safety glasses etc), then even larger savings can be achieved by entering into direct negotiation on frame pricing with www.specslab.co.uk.
