I agree with Deborah. If we take a truly holistic approach we need to address individual needs rather than documentary advice.

Deborah Caspi Occupational Health Advisor ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chris Packham Sent: 20 October 2011 11:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] DSE monitor height As I mentioned earlier, I wear varifocus spectacles. As it happens I also have a PC and have had to arrange the height of the screen to match the part of the lenses that gives me the correct focus. Would you believe that this is almost exactly the same height as the screen on my laptop! I tried a laptop stand, but then the laptop screen was in the wrong place for me and uncomfortable to use. If I am comfortable working the way I do, why should I change and be uncomfortable, just because someone has set a standard that is wrong for me?
