Health and Safety Issues in ICT (Enhanced DVD)
Product Description:
Information communications technologies (ICT) provide the platform for enterprise systems. ICT business systems make data readily available so that workers have the information they need to perform their job. With the integration of unified ICT systems, employees now also work remotely, using mobile devices, smartphones, laptops, and pagers to communicate with co-workers and business partners. The end result is continuous productivity, yet little time away from technological engagement. Health and Safety Issues (2009) related to the administration and use of ICT equipment, are the subject of this ‘how to’ film. Working with computers and related digital electronics for lengthy periods of time may result in eyestrain, neck and back problems, stress, and wrist injuries.
Imposition health and safety standards for extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation computer monitors in office workstations is an example of reforms in ICT related employment legislation. Employer compliance with workplace health and safety rules require that employers adhere to laws enacted to protect employees from workplace health hazards, including ICT. Environmentally safe workspace design has emerged as a response to health and safety rules. Workspace design for the ICT environment, employers must include: well-lit work stations; height adjustable desks and chairs; noise reduction insulation; ergonomic keyboard accessories; as well as hardware and software features to reduce physical injury.
The program addresses specific ICT related issues and organizational responses; such as recommended health and safety policies and protocols. Wellness tips such as break scheduling, and fitness exercises targeting common physical problems associated with long-term computer use, are offered as solution.
