Safe Computer Use Jul 23 2008, 07:39 AM

I know most of us are guilty especially whilst on one of the many addictive online community sites, but I'd like to raise this point especially with it being the summer holidays. You should take a 5-minute break every hour from the computer screen. This might seem a bit OTT, but Guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggests it's better to take shorter breaks more often at your workstation than longer breaks. Read more at Directgov - directed towards the workplace but just as relevant for home use.

You can have a good seat, but still not sit properly on it. Topics like this are rarely covered, but I feel it is important..

Oo-er. Leather? Tut tut tut :P Anyways, on topic now, didn't know people actually take breaks and that every hour. No wonder my eye-sight has gone down the plug hole since I got my laptop, probably eye strain xD But yes, you said it's important right? Ah, I'm screwed then. :/ Shall have to start trying to take breaks. *sets timer* xD

Tantra hardly anyone takes proper breaks but they should. At work we take breaks but sometimes when your just stuck into something you can't get yourself away!

Obviously i'm not pushing people away, but do take a break for a bit when your eyes hurt. Community sites can become very addictive and now I'm back off holiday I have loads to catch up on, but I will try not to spend too long going over things.
