The Effects of work-rest schedules and type of task on the discomfort and performance of VDT users / Rana Balci, Fereydoun Aghazadeh

Consideration of the literature survey indicates that video display terminal (VDT) operators tend to have a high incidence of muscoloskeletal problems, visual fatigue, and job stress. Althought a number of ergonomic improvements in workstation design and work environment can help to reduce these problems , a proper work-rest schedule deserves consideration since it is easily applicable and inexpensive. The objective of this study was to compare the work-rest schedules for VDT operators considering data entry and mental arithmetic tasks
