Office ergonomic guidelines 
Aspects
of occupational health and safety issues are covered on this comprehensive
and efficiently laid out site. The table of contents leads the user to general
information on office ergonomics and office equipment set-up. Some choices relate
to the specific workplace of Sydney University, and others, such as General office
environment and the Office ergonomic checklist, have a wider application. Guidelines
fall under NSW legislation and are therefore relevant to the Business Services
syllabus. The website, while referring to OH&S situations within the Sydney

injury regulations and management in a real setting. It can be used as an interesting
case study for the Unit of competency: Participate in workplace safety procedures. P.
