About your monitor
• Ensure that the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you are
sitting in front of the monitor.
• Adjust the tilt of the monitor, its contrast, and brightness settings.
• Adjust the ambient lighting around you. Adjust the overhead lights, desk lamps,
and the curtains or blinds on nearby windows to minimize reflections and glare on
the monitor screen.
• Use a chair that provides good lower-back support.
• Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position
while using the keyboard or mouse.
• Always leave space to rest your hands while using the keyboard or mouse.
• Let your upper arms rest naturally on both sides.
• Ensure that your feet are resting flat on the floor.
• When sitting, ensure that the weight of your legs is on your feet and not on the
front portion of your seat. Adjust the chair height or use a footrest if necessary to
maintain a proper posture.
• Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work so that you do not have to sit
and work for extended periods of time. Try to stand or get up and walk around at
regular intervals.
• Keep the area under your desk clear of obstructions and power cables that may
interfere with comfortable seating or present a potential trip hazard.
