Don’t laugh now, but this is for real man …
A recent study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that injuries caused by people tripping over computer wires or getting hit by falling equipment rose from about 1,300 a year to 9,300 a year.
That’s a whopping 732 per cent rise nationwide.
And those most affected by the injuries are children under the age of 5 and adults over 60, who had the highest injury rate.
It’s common to see computer-related injuries showing up in the emergency rooms.
From lacerations (39 per cent) to contusions and abrasions (23 per cent).
With computers ownership on the rise, so does computer-related injuries.
So my advise is organize an secure your cable cords.
Keep your workspace tidy. Cover your electrical outlets.
Be sure to anchor your computer tables and components.
