Professionals in computer aided design (CAD) are exposed to a number of occupational health and safety hazards since they work with computers for extended periods of time. Occupational health and safety (OHAS) is crucial in computer-aided design (CAD) environments to safeguard the health of employees who use digital design tools for extended periods of time. In addition to ergonomic dangers, extended screen time, repetitive strain injuries, and mental health risks such eye strain, musculoskeletal diseases, stress, and anxiety, this study examines the main OHAS issues related to CAD work. In order to reduce health hazards, it emphasizes best practices such ergonomic workstations, frequent breaks, sufficient lighting, and the use of ergonomic input devices. Also covered is how software features like automation tools and configurable interfaces can lessen stress. Organizations may improve productivity, lower work-related injuries, and give CAD professionals a safer, more comfortable workplace by putting in place efficient OHAS procedures.
