“New technology, new ways of work – do we also need new visual ergonomics practice?” at TAVRP, the Tasmanian Association of Rehabilitation Providers, Dark Side of Rehab 2 Symposium, Hobart, Australia.
Developing a workplace visual ergonomics policy or guideline
The volume of technical information available in journals and on the Internet can be overwhelming.
Using my educational background and experience in optometry and ergonomics, I can synthesise knowledge within the scientific literature and present it in a format that you and your workers can easily understand.
Examples of projects I have assisted with include:
- Guidelines for setting up a computer for visual comfort.
- Advice for staff eye protection within a neonatal hospital unit.
- Appropriate lighting for administering colour vision tests.
- Occupational Optometry Guide (published by the Optometrists Association Australia) http://www.optometry.org.au/media/654738/occupational_optometry_guide.pdf
- Working comfortably in the consultation room – resources for practice owners/managers and resources for employees (Practice Notes published by Optometry Australia) (http://www.optometry.org.au/for-optometrists/professional-practice/practice-notes/)
