The goal of the study was to check, with regard to ergonomics, workstations equipped with visual display terminals in selected enterprises. Over 180 workstations 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 mechanisms, 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.
