I was always under the impression that it actually causes blindness. Stems from the old "sitting too close to the TV will give you square eyes". It won't give you square eyes (glasses?), but the TV would damage your eye sight if you sat 2' from it. If you wouldn't do it with a TV, why a CRT monitor? They are still the same. My physics isn't brilliant, but they still both have electron guns, phosphorous screens, etc. Whereas, LCDs don't give off the same radiation etc.
I am not as well up on employment law as I should be, but I know bits. I know there is a load of health and safety guidlines that apply to CRTs only, LCDs are exempt from.
