			== Mental health ==
			Frequent pauses are needed, 5 minutes par hour, to gain concentration back.

			Research hints open-source maintainers are at risk for burnout.
			Some guides try to address this topic, for example https://opensource.guide/maintaining-balance-for-open-source-maintainers/

			== Eyes ==
			When doing a pause, look far away from your screen (regarder au loin).

			Consider to use blue light filter (software or screen hardware) after sunset.

When contributing to an open-source project, like other computing activities, the main risks are:
* muscle and skeleton impact
* mental health impact
* eyes impact

== Workstation ergonomics ==
The first important point is the workstation ergonomics. You need to sit in a correct position, with correct placement of what surrounds you.

The NIH Office of Research Services maintains for their own use [https://ors.od.nih.gov/sr/dohs/Documents/checklist-ergonomics-computer-workstation-self-assessment.pdf a comprehensive checklist of the points to check].

INRS also [https://www.inrs.fr/risques/travail-ecran/prevention-risques.html maintain such a risks list in French, with nice illustrations].
