Lighting conditions and workplace dimensions of VDU-operators

• Environmental conditions such as lighting and dimensions of the workplaces and factors related to Visual Display Units have been measured during day and night shifts for 28 operators at a telephone information centre. The results of the survey show that operators have preferred, in general, much lower luminance and workplace illuminance than previously reported in the literature. The study also revealed large interindividual differences in screen and workplace lighting adjustment.
