Abstract Factors contributing to optimal visual conditions of CRT work. Part 1 gives the ergonomic aspects of the work: posture, adjustment and adaptation, vertical and horizontal visual fields, characteristics and placement of the screen and keyboard. Part 2 deals with physiological and optical aspects: legibility of characters on the screen and optical adjustment, individual ability and glare. The aim of part 3 is to give advice on workstation planning: lighting (luminance limitation, illumination levels, contrast, lighting systems), screen angles important for good working conditions.
