Ergonomic analysis of informatics equipment

Jasminka Goldoni ; Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Ergonomie analysis of video display units (VDUs) was carried out in an institution in Zagreb. Altogether 39 ergonomie features were analysed according to the Swedish programme Screen Checker. The VDU operators were administered a questionnaire on subjective complaints in connection with work conditions. Six ergonomie features were found to be inappropriate. Also, a high occurrence of related subjective complaints was observed. Active health protection of VDU operators according to the current international standards is recommended.
