Ergonomics The science of designing safe and comfortable machines and furniture for humans. Enables us to adjust equipment properly to meet our needs. Monitors Keyboard Chairs Lighting Desks

Safety Issues The rules for all electrical appliances apply in a computer room. There should be no trailing wires. Food and drink should not be placed near a machine. Electrical sockets must not be overloaded. Adequate space around the machine. Suitable heating and ventilation. Suitable lighting with no glare or reflections. Benches must be strong enough to support the computers. All electrical equipment must be tested for safety at regular intervals.
