  • 1. Royal Adelaide Hospital (Australia)

Description

Although modern offices have traditionally been thought to be among the safest places to work, over the past few years office workers have become concerned that video display terminals could be causing a variety of health problems.

Results of these surveys suggest that radiation emissions are not of concern but that ergonomic factors in the office environment may need to be improved
