WHAT IS COMPUTER SECURITY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Health and Safety regulations require an employer to:
A
plan work at a computer so there are frequent breaks
B
provide wrist rests for keyboard use
C
pay for glasses for employees who need them, if they spend a lot of time using a computer
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There should be enough room in front of your keyboard to support both your forearms and your wrists on the desk. Push your computer screen and your keyboard back a bit if necessary. This desk support helps prevent your arms from becoming tired or achy. When typing, keep your wrists straight.

Detailed explanation-2: -Take short breaks often, rather than longer ones less often. For example 5 to 10 minutes every hour is better than 20 minutes every 2 hours. Ideally, users should be able to choose when to take breaks. In most jobs it is possible to stop DSE work to do other tasks, such as going to meetings or making phone calls.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taking breaks can relieve eye strain that may occur from looking at the computer screen for a prolonged time. A stretch break for a few minutes can also improve circulation and reduce tension.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 set out how employers should handle the risk of working with computer equipment. These regulations place obligations on employers whose employees use display screen equipment (e.g. computers and laptops) daily for continuous periods of an hour or more.
