CHILDREN: HEALTH AND MEDICAL : COMPUTERS: ERGONOMICS: Computer Ergonomics
for Elementary School

Biomechanics and ergonomics are important areas of study and practice that
have substantial impact on health and physical well being.  Just like the
issues regarding backpack use by students and their impact on the spine
and back of children, the use of computers by youths raises serious
ergonomic issues that need to be addressed.

Computer Ergonomics for Elementary School

Developed by: Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (USA)
Type of resource: Web site
Target audience: General, Trainers
Cost: Free or open source

This site will show you some simple and
affordable ways to make sure that your body is
safe and comfortable while using a computer.
Schools and telecentres usually can't afford
specialized tables and chairs, and this site
explains how to set up of computer workstations
using ordinary furniture. A printable poster
demonstrates the proper posture for working at a
computer. The information is directed at computer
use by children, but the information is just as
true for adults who spend long periods of time at
the computer.
