Health and Safety Issues in ICT

It’s probably not immediately obvious to the average teenager – or many adults for that matter – but moderate to heavy computer use brings with it a number of areas of risk when it comes to health and safety. This programme covers a wide range of aspects of health and safety in the use of ICT – including ergonomic chairs, the positioning of furniture and computer hardware, cables, use of keyboard and mouse, posture and the need for breaks, plus includes a range of exercises designed to prevent injury. In workplaces in particular, health and safety issues – including those associated with ICT – are governed by legislation. During the programme, OHS Officer from Aviva, Stuart Capel, addresses many of the key areas relating to health, safety and ICT. Teachers, youth workers and employers will find this learning resource especially useful in helping to place personal health and safety uppermost in the minds of all computer users.
