Display Screen Health and Safety

Health and Safety - Screen Display Health-1

Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
It is important that when using computers, screens and IT equipment for photography that we think about health and safety.
Either intentionally or by just getting absorbed in editing and organising images, we can spend hours in front of a screen.
Ensure that you keep track of how long you spend in front of the screen, take regular breaks, not just away from the screen, but get up walk around and stretch your legs. Ensure that the position you are sitting in is comfortable. The recommended break time is 5-10 minutes for every 60 minutes and 60-90 second breaks every 30 minutes.
