| Summary |
Summary: It's probably not immediately obvious to the average person, but moderate to heavy computer use brings with it a number of areas of risk when it comes to health and safety. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program explains a wide range of aspects of health and safety in the use of ICT - including ergonomic chairs, the positioning of furniture and computer hardware, use of keyboard and mouse, posture, the need for breaks, and includes a range of exercises designed to prevent injury. Expert comments from Stuart Capel, OHS Officer from Aviva, address key areas relating to health and safety in ICT at home, at school and at work. This program is especially useful in helping to place personal health and safety uppermost in the minds of all computer users |
