Wired for safety
Article Abstract:
Multimedia is now being used by safety and health Web sites, particularly safety-training sites. A full interactive effect with a safety-training site could be achieved using a 28.8 modem, speakers or headphones, a PC-compatible 486 computer, a video and sound card. One of the safety-training interactive sites is the ErgoForum at www.ergoforum.com, which presents RealAudio programs featuring ergonomic specialists discussing repetitive stress disorders and cumulative trauma disorders, among others.
