Information and Communication Technology is used so constantly for both work and play that it's easy to forget about the dangers it can pose in the form of back pain, eye strain, or simply tripping over a tangle of cluttered cables. This program discusses health and safety issues pertaining to the use of ICT, covering topics such as ergonomics, the positioning of computer hardware, keyboarding and mousing, and problems that can arise from not stopping to take breaks. The video includes a range of exercises designed to prevent injury.
