When purchasing new equipment or designing a working ICT environment, employers must consider:

• Lighting – workplace should be well lit;
• Furniture – Height-adjustable swivel chairs with backrests and desks large enough to hold the computer and paperwork;
• Noise – Work space should be quiet;
• Hardware – Screens must not flicker and should swivel and tilt. Keyboards must be separate, moveable and fitted with wrist supports;
• Software – This should make tasks easier;
• The working environment – work space should be well ventilated and maintained at a comfortable temperature
