Overview :
Many millions of people now spend all their working days sitting in front of display screens whilst operating personal computers.
This sedentary lifestyle, the repetitive physical activity and factors associated with display screen use can cause both minor and major health problems if the risks are not addressed. Such risks can often be reduced, or removed altogether, by good workplace design and safe working practices.
