Vision Mats

The mouse mat designed to reduce Computer Eye Strain

Occupational Health and Safety is becoming a major concern in Australia and organisations are continually increasing their commitment of resources to ensure their duty of care responsibilities are met. It is now recognised that to be truly competitive internationally that this aspect of an organisations operation must be sound. With the rapidly increasing use of computers at all levels within an organisation there is a growing concern, and rightly so, of the short and long-term effects on staff.

Computer Eye Strain (CES) is at the top of the list. The effects can range from poor concentration and headaches to eye sight problems requiring a medical treatment. As is the case with all OH&S issues early identification and preventative measures are the best ways to combat this problem. As is the case with all staff education issues a clear uncomplicated message is required with simple steps which become habitual in a short space of time. Here at Eye Power we have put together such a program assisting you to effectively deal with your duty of care responsibilities in this area.

One simple but very effective method is a visual reminder system using a mouse mat at each workstation. With the key points illustrated in a way to remind staff to follow the simple procedure. This alone will reduce the risk of CES significantly.

We can also come on-site to run a brief workshop in the dangers and prevention of CES in your workplace.Contact info@eyepower.com.au for further details.
