Display screen equipment workstations and the working environment Copy

Most employees spend a lot of time working behind a computer. Unfortunately, looking at the computer display screen for a long time tends to culminate in issues like tire sore eyes, discomfort, headaches and photosensitive epilepsy. Furthermore, sitting in one position for a long time will lead to pains and aches around the upper limbs.

The impacts of using display screen equipment for a long time are very dire. Therefore, the employer needs to assess the DSC workstation to help keep at bay those potential risks and provide solutions such as:

• Provision of adjustable footrests and alternative chairs
• Computer screen filters
• Workplace stress management
• Optical checks
