Using Computers Safely

 

Workplace Health and Safety-

Safe Use of Computers and Multimedia

 

·       Make sure you get up and walk around frequently, to keep the blood moving around your       body and reduce your risk of pain and chronic disease. 

 

·       Set your desktop and chair at a height that is comfortable for you- you should be                eye level with the monitor, and be able to have both feet flat on the floor. Forearms should rest comfortably on your desk.

 

·           All electrical equipment should be tested and tagged to reduce the risk of fire caused       by faulty cords or equipment.

 

·             Please do not download any websites, images or programs onto the library computers.       This could cause a virus to be uploaded into our system, or cause inappropriate images to come up which might inadvertently cause distress to the next user.
