Abstract
The goal of the study was to check, with regard to ergonomics, workstations equipped with visual display terminals in selected enterprises. Over 180 worksta-tions were tested in 3 enterprises. Most workstations were equipped with computers. The ergonomics of both the parameters of the basic components of the workstation (i.e., a chair and a desk, and the position of the computer at the workstation and its screen with respect to windows) and lighting fittings were analysed. Typical mistakes in the layout of a workstation were chairs inappropriate for computer work, as well as broken chair adjustment mechan-isms, which qualified chairs for repair or replacement. Wrong positioning of monitors on the desk and with regard to windows and lighting fittings was also noted.
