a) Describe two ways of reducing the risk of RSI:
You can take regular breaks and work in an environment wheres there's enough space to work comfortably.
b) There are sometimes safety risk associated with computers. Describe two ways these risk can be minimized.
Describe two health issues, other than RSI, caused by the prolong use of computers. For each health issue give a method of prevention.
a) headaches and eyes strain can cause blurriness and pain in the head, this can be prevented by keeping your screen clean so its not blurry and taking regular breaks.
b) Another health issue is backache this is caused by not sitting up straight etc but can be prevented by using the right equipment e.g. having a chair adjusted to your height.
Give two uses of ICT devices which cause RSI, when prolonged.
a) mouse
b)keyboard
Identify two safety issues and how they are caused.
a) Electrocution is caused by faults in wires etc
b)heavy equipment falling is caused by equipment not being positioned properly.
Describe how the following health problems can arise due to the use of computers. Give a different cause for each:
RSI in wrists- caused by using a mouse for a long period of time without a break.
RSI in fingers- caused by using the keyboard for long periods of time without breaks.
headaches- caused by staring at a monitor for long periods of time.
back pain- caused by sitting incorrectly for a long period of time.
