Resumen This MD thesis describes an investigation carried out as a result of complaints from staff of a large mail order firm who worked at a computer terminal. The complaints concerned lighting conditions at the workplace. The inquiry took into account the principal factors affecting the working conditions of 245 women keyboard operators. The workplace, the premises and the influence of various environmental factors (ventilation, temperature, noise, lighting) were studied successively. In conclusion the author emphasises the repetitive nature of the work, the high noise level (around 70dB) and the poor lighting arrangements. He reviews the improvements already made (especially as regards lighting) and makes suggestions for further improvement of the working conditions.
