    Study Notes

    • Common health issues when using a computer include backache, neckache, eye strain, and headaches.
    • Poor posture, such as sitting incorrectly or using a chair without a back rest, can cause backache and neckache.
    • Staring at a computer screen for long periods can cause eye strain and headaches. Common causes of eye strain are screen flicker and screen glare.
    • To minimize the effects of these health issues, methods include ensuring the screen is at the correct angle and height, using wrist rests, and taking breaks.
    • Using a correctly positioned or ergonomic chair can prevent back aches and neck pains.
    • Advantages of these methods include reducing glare and eye strain, preventing RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, and preventing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
    • Disadvantages of these methods include the potential for over-reliance on equipment, cost of ergonomic or special equipment, added work hours due to more breaks, and difficulty positioning laptops optimally due to their open/close design.
    • Safety refers to the dangers that could lead to injury in a workspace, while health is related to becoming ill or affecting the daily use of computers.
