Abstract |
The new working environments resulting from the spread of information technology require an understanding of the problems of visual load, workplace layout and task organization. This guide is aimed at helping occupational physicians avoid or correct situations likely to give rise to physical or mental health problems among operators working on visual display units. Contents include: basic concepts of visual fatigue; display of information; the physical environment; postural constraints; psychological factors; aptitude testing; medical follow-up.
