title: Ergonomic analysis of informatics equipment.
abstract: Ergonomic analysis of video display units (VDUs) was carried out in an institution in Zagreb. Altogether 39 ergonomic features were analysed according to the Swedish programme Screen Checker. The VDU operators were administered a questionnaire on subjective complaints in connection with work conditions. Six ergonomic features were found to be inappropriate. Also, a high occurrence of related subjective complaints was observed. Active health protection of VDU operators according to the current international standards is recommended.
