P2. Health and Safety for Graphic Designers

Here are some other health and safety issues I should look out for, which are aimed towards graphic designers, and towards people who work at desks:

Posture - having a bad posture can cause back pains, muscle pains, headaches, loss of sight, and sickness (sit up right in a supportive chair)

Fatigue - not getting enough sleep and going to bed late can cause fatigue (get enough sleep, and change location/environment to somewhere less dark and warm)

Computer Eye Strain - sitting in front of a computer for too long and staring at a screen can cause eye strain, head aches, migraines, dry eyes, double vision and blurriness (work in a properly lit workspace, blink lots, take breaks every half an hour or so away from your screen)

Manual tasks - overexertion or repetitive movement can cause muscular strain (avoid this)

Gravity - falling objects, falls, slips and trips of people can cause fractures, bruises, dislocaions, concussion, permanent injuries or death. (observe your surroundings)

Electricity - electrical wires can cause shock, burns or death from electrocution (don't touch random loose wires, and keep an eye on where they are)
