| Abstract |
Report on the examination (pulse rate, arterial blood pressure and field of vision at the start and finish of work, visual performance and electro-oculography) of 72 female computer terminal operators (aged 19-35 years) to assess the various components of workload at computer terminal displays (visual and mental workload, postural stress). There was considerable eye fatigue. Conclusions and recommendations: pre-employment and periodical eye testing; maximum working time 5h/day; workbreaks of 10min after each hour of work and gymnastics during these workbreaks; ergonomic workplace design and layout (equipment, screens, keyboards, workposture) and anthropometric design of workplace seats and tables. |
