Advantages
If you use a screen filter/blue glasses eye strain is reduced
If LCD/TFT screens are used then eye strain is reduced
If my eye is level with the top of the screen it will reduce eye strain/neck ache
If I take breaks from excessive clicking on the mouse/keyboard this reduces RSI
Using voice activated systems reduces RSI
If I use a wrist rest/an ergonomic mouse it will reduce RSI
If I use an ergonomic chair it will reduce back ache
If I do not use the computer for long periods of time this will reduce
RSI/back ache/eye strain/Carpel syndrome/Cubital syndrome/Neck pain/DVT
Disadvantages
Turning the screen can reduce your ability to see clearly on the screen
Laptops can be difficult to ensure the screen is 90 degrees as the whole unit needs to be moved
The cost of safety equipment can be expensive
Using voice activated systems can be prone to many errors which may increase RSI correcting them
Users can become over-reliant on equipment
With laptops/screens it can be difficult to position it so the eye level is at the top of the screen
Taking breaks every hour can increase the work time
A mark can be awarded for a reasoned conclusion
