Software developers should be considered separately. Their major health and safety concerns are related to programming and documentation. Burned-out programmers and technical writers are candidates for becoming disabled employees. OSSA considers these issues when developing products and services for this group. Another concern is the extended availability and use of technical equipment.
Cell phones are a good example.
Switzerland, for example, has banned their use while driving unless proper adaptations are in place. We need to help clients become aware of the need for appropriate information to minimize risk during the use of such equipment. Bibliography Avon E.
