Still cannot workout whether Dot Gov, H&S Agencies, minister of Digital Culture and other professionals still sustaining a position of “denial”, arrogance or ignorance, maybe just plain expediency to avoid like, you know, “don’t mention the” 2/3 of presenteeism, 30 days a year, linked directly to lack of exposure control and sub-optimal screen ergonomics manifesting in early onset eye-strain, CVS, Screen fatigue or worse visual and physical RSI’s, now recognised as a Global Pandemic by the WHO ICD 10th revision under the heading of eye-strain driven visual “adaptation exhaustion injuries” or “Asthenopia” and/or, not only but also, WRULD’s and MSD’s in education and the workplace reported to be affecting 58% of user operators in the HSE Better Display Screen RR 561 medical review back in 2007.

“bullying & fear-motivated behaviour”, “mental health”, “macho culture”, “stress”….they are all just words and some people’s opinions. they need to be clear and measured so limited funds can be targeted appropriately and great practice and behaviour can be celebrated.
Ask anyone in an organisation and they will tell you the people who motivate, care and innovate, supporting and encouraging their colleagues to effective working practices. Such people have empathy, clarity and insight as well as rigour and a conscience.
