| Abstract |
Report of a meeting of experts (Streatly-on-Thames, UK, 22-24 Sep. 1987) sponsored by the WHO. Psychosocial aspects of work with VDTs may affect users' health and well-being and include a variety of situations: work demands, work design and organisational problems, workload, breakdown, control, pacing, social support and isolation, deskilling, management of change and user involvement, task analysis and job design, training, work scheduling, and rest periods. This report takes the view that, in the prevention of VDT-related health problems, psychosocial factors are at least as important as the physical ergonomics of workstations and the working environment. |
