Abstract

An overview of health effects among operators of video display terminals (VDTs) is presented. Health risks are classified into the categories: eye strain, musculo-skeletal discomfort, mental disorders, radiation emission and pregnancy, skin rashes and epilepsy induced by the flickering of the image on the screen. In order to reduce subjective complaints to a minimum, and to prevent ocular, rnusculo-skeletal and mental disorders, some ergonomic recommendations are given for choosing and installing VDTs and for introducing adjustments to workplaces.
