This paper discusses an experience of training in ergonomic work analysis (EWA). Two ergonomists of the National Institute for Research on Working Conditions (INRCT, in French) trained a group of employees in the Brussels plant of a multinational company. This training took place after having checked about fifty VDU (video display unit) workplaces. None of these 50 VDU users was aware of the possibilities of adjusting his or her specific workplace. The manager and the union decided to train one or two persons in each department, to enable them to answer minor questions of their unit's employees relating to adjusting their own workplace. It was agreed that more difficult problems raised by the employees would be transferred to external experts. The paper seeks to analyse the impact of this experience on the VDU workers: are they able to change their working conditions? What exactly did change? To conclude, some conditions necessary for the success of such training programmes are highlighted.

A method is described for the non-destructive, non-invasive, detection of shell lesions in the New Zealand paua, a marine gastropod Haliotis iris using diagnostic radiology. The X-ray method reliably detected the presence of shell lesions in 96% of the cases examined once lesion dimensions exceeded 6.2 × 7.1 mm. The extent of lesions above this size can be reliably and accurately determined from X-ray images viewed on a video display unit (VDU). Biofouling on the outside of the shell can cause misdiagnoses. This method is a significant animal welfare refinement in the identification of marine gastropods with shell lesions, when compared with traditional techniques which kill the animals.

A system for the on-line computerisation of anaesthetic records using a computer bureau is described. The requirements of the system are a keyboard and video display unit appropriately linked to the bureau's computer. The system was cheap and easy to install. It required no programming expertise from department members. Disadvantages included the need to change between two screens for data entry, a delay of over 8 months before satisfactory reports materialised for individuals or the department, congestion at peak times for data entry, excessive time spent on data entry, reluctance of the bureau to alter the format of the screens once they had been generated. The cost of the system is felt to be justified by the information provided for both accreditation requirements and for department management.
