Employees who constantly work in front of a VDU monitor are required to take a break from it. If employees are using their break to surf the net then they are breaking the healthy and safety regulations as are their employeers if they are aware of the fact.

Speaking as someone who is in the HR area, I know that employees rarely leave their desks because the work is non-stop. People don't take breaks anymore and they eat lunch (if they get lunch) at their work stations. Unless the website is questionable, I can't understand why they can not take a few minutes to get away from it all without leaving their desks. I am not talking about abusing this right, just having a company understand that there needs to be down time for employees or they risk having them burn out! Well, that is disturbing.
