Abstract |
This information note sets basic requirements concerning equipment, workplace design, work organisation, training, supervision of employees, eye examinations and prevention of musculoskeletal diseases. Referring to research on the possible connection between miscarriage and visual display work, this guidance note does not advise against computer work during pregnancy. However, if a pregnant woman is worried about the risk of miscarriage, she should be transferred to another job. |
