Managing risks
As a student, there may potential risks faced in your study, in particular when using labs, or on field trips.
It’s vital to adjust the ergonomic set-up of your computer workstation so you can work comfortably and safely. All students should ensure that they adjust their equipment to suit their needs. Regular, short stretch breaks are important ways of looking after your body at work.
