Working in Comfort
Thank you for choosing Hewlett-Packard equipment. To maximize your
comfort and productivity it is important that you set up and use your
equipment properly. This section of the
User’s Guide
provides
guidance and hints, based on the latest ergonomic findings, to help you
work in a comfortable and ergonomically low-risk environment. Also,
international regulations and guidelines are included from the
European Community Display Screen Equipment directive and ISO
9241 to ensure that the information presented is applicable worldwide.
Please be aware that the quoted dimensions are for an average person.
They may need to be adjusted to your individual physical
characteristics. For example: if you are an extra tall person, your work
surface may need to be higher than the range listed. Prior to using any
Hewlett-Packard equipment, study these instructions and suggestions
and consult the bibliography at the end of this section. If, during use of
this or any other equipment, you experience pain or discomfort, stop
work and review this section of the
User’s Guide
. Should the
discomfort return, discontinue use of the equipment and consult a
doctor as soon as possible.
Repetitive Strain Injury
Because your safety and comfort is our primary concern, we strongly
recommend that our equipment be used in accordance with ergonomic
standards and recommendations. Recent literature suggests that there
may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues, especially in the
hands and arms, and the prolonged use of keyboards or other
equipment requiring repeated motions of the hands and forearms.
Literature also suggests that there are many other risk factors which
may increase the chance of such soft-tissue injury, commonly called
Repetitive Strain Injury.
