Development of action checkpoints for comfortable computer work

Ind Health. 2004 Apr;42(2):292-301. doi: 10.2486/indhealth.42.292.

Abstract

We developed a manual including a checklist format for undertaking measures to prevent fatigue in visual display terminals (VDT) workers. With this manual, problems related to VDT work can be recognized by using checklists which allow for self-evaluation by the workers. The manual helps the workers to consider measures for improvement by themselves and will contribute to better occupational health education.
