Requirements to premises and location of a computer programmer’s workplaces
Rooms with computers should be equipped with heating systems, air conditioning and combined extract and input ventilation. In rooms where computers are operated there should be first-aid outfits. Wet cleaning is to be conducted every day.
The area for one workplace with a computer should not be less than 6 square metres and a space - 20 cubic metres.
Premises with computers should have natural and artificial lighting. Windows are to be equipped with regulator devices for opening as well as jalousie, curtains, sunbreaks, etc. Operating of computers in the rooms without natural lighting is permitted consent only with the consent of the bodies of state supervision over labour protection and sanitary-epidemiological service. For sufficient lighting of workplaces it is necessary to use a switch system allowing to regulate artificial illumination intensity depending on natural illumination intensity.
Cable network for feeding a computer and peripheral devices (printers, scanners, etc.) is to be made a separate three-phase network (i.e. with earthen cable). Computers and its peripheral devices should be connected to electricity supply network only with the use of real plug junctions and factory-made wall outlets. It is prohibited to connect computers and their peripheral devices to ordinary two-phase electricity supply network using adapter units inclusively. In the room where more than five computers are simultaneously operated, the emergency reserve switch which may turn off electricity supply to the room except illumination is to be installed in the noticeable and accessible place.

II. Answer the following questions:
1. Do programmers generally work in offices in comfortable surroundings?
2. Programmers are susceptible to eyestrain, back discomfort, hand and wrist problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. What are the reasons of that?
III. Decide whether the following statements are true or false. Correct the wrong ones.
1. Rooms with computers must not necessarily be equipped with heating systems, air conditioning and combined extract and input ventilation.

What is a computer?
A computer is a machine that changes information according to well defined rules. Computers have existed for much of human history. Examples of early computers are the astrolabe and the abacus. Modern computers have changed very much. They are able to control traffic lights, cars or locks. Most modern computers can be used to play music or video. The basic principle is still the same though: the computer has a set of rules, usually called an algorithm. The computer changes information based on these rules.
A person uses a computer by telling it to do things, like playing movies or going to a website. Computers do not know a human language, so people must tell their computers to do things by speaking the computer’s language. It is called a programming language. Programmers know this computer’s language, and use it to write programs that tell the computer what to do. Ordinary people use the programs that a programmer wrote to tell the computer what to do.
Computers can do anything that someone can tell them to do. They are able to solve mathematical problems because a programmer has told them how to do it. As computers are very fast, they can solve billions of math problems per second. They are used to control factories, which in the past were controlled by humans. They are also in homes, where they are used for things such as listening to music, reading the news, and writing.
