In a study of VDT workers the relationship between 1) their general life condition and working environment and 2) their eye, shoulder, neck, arm, waist and back complaints and their psychological symptoms was investigated. The subjects of the study were (147 workers whose age ranged from 18 to 39 years, and who had used VDT for a monthly average of more than 40h. The results were as follows: 1) For most of the symptoms, a tendency was observed for females to complain more than males and for younger workers to complain more than the older workers. Neck, shoulder, arm, waist and back complaints were more common than psychological symptoms. These physical complaints appeared to be the most common among VDT workers. 2) The occurrence of eye-related symptoms is related to items directly affecting sight. This reaffirms the importance of illumination for the visual system. 3) This investigation showed that a relatively good VDT working environment was secured for the subjects of the present study. It is important that consideration be given to labor management such as provision of rest period and supervision.
