Temperature and Humidity

Set room temperature controls to maintain thermal comfort (sufficient cooling and ventilation). Avoid overcrowding VDT work areas. Provide a fairly constant relative humidity level (30-70 percent is recommended). Do not direct warm air units from central processing units (CPUs) and disk and diskette drives toward operators.

Please take a brief survey to tell us what you think of the Oregon OSHA Web site.
