| Abstract |
A number of studies have shown that users of display screen equipment undergo visual and muscular stress and fatigue. The provision of breaks and exercises have been shown to have benefits for both productivity and health in such workers. Recommendations are given for a suitable rest break system including micropauses, short and long pauses, workstation exercises and health and safety information. |
