Welcome to Phones 4 All Today I am going to talk to you about safe working practices when using ICT within the business environment. We will look at protecting health protecting physical safety protecting files from loss protecting files from unauthorised access

How to protect health Using ICT can have an impact on your health in many ways. Your eyesight can suffer from using VDUs. You can get backache from sitting incorrectly.

To protect your health Make sure you are sitting correctly. Support your back. Adjust your chair. Rest your feet on the floor. Place your screen at eye level. Watch this videovideo

Eyesight There is no legal limit. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggests its better to take shorter breaks more often than longer breaks less often. There is no study to show a link between VDU use and damage to eyesight but you may feel your eyes are getting tired. You have a right to a free eyesight test if you use a VDU a lot during work hours.

Physical safety dangers There is a potential for danger within a business environment: Slips and trips Lifting and carrying

Protect yourself Cover all loose wires. Follow guidance for manual lifting and carrying.

Solutions Always back up to the computer, an external drive and even to an online based storage area. Never leave drinks near your computer. Run an anti-virus programme regularly.
