Be Safe!

Working with computers

There is no evidence to suggest that display screen equipment can cause you harm, provided that you:

  • Are trained how to use the equipment
  • Adjust your chair correctly
  • use a footrest and document holder if necessary
  • Take regular breaks or change to other work away from the screen
  • You must report any problems with your eyes or aches and pains to your supervisor. Sometimes health problems can occur with repetitive tasks
  • Make sure you can adjust the equipment to suit your needs
  • Check that the working environment is suitable for you, e.g. heating, lighting, workspace, etc
  • Do you know who to talk to if you have any concerns?
