2 Using Your Personal Workstation
Working in Comfort
It is recommended that you place your keyboard in front of the screen
or document holder (whichever is viewed the most).
If you use a mouse or trackball, position it close to the keyboard so you
do not have to stretch while using it.
It is not necessary to type with very much force. Use of too much force
can place unnecessary stress on your body, including tendons and
muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms, and increase risk of
discomfort or injury.
Your Desk
Sufficient desk space should be available to allow you to set up your
equipment in a convenient, comfortable arrangement. Recommended
workstation desk space is 160 by 80 by 90 cm (63 by 32 to 36 inches).
Depending on the nature of your work, you may need a smaller or
larger work surface.
To minimize reflections and glare (and thus eye discomfort), the
surface of the desk should be non-reflective (matt).
Ideally, the work top height should be adjustable. Recommended range
is 66 to 77 cm (26 to 30 inches). If the desk top height is fixed, it should
be between 72 and 75 cm (28.5 to 29.5 inches).
There should be at least 6 cm (2 inches) of space between your thighs
and the desk top. If the desk has a "kneehole" it should be at least 58
cm (23 in) wide, 65 cm (25.5 in) high, and 60 cm (24 in) deep.
If possible, choose a desk with cable management capabilities. This will
keep your cables and wires orderly, off the floor, and out of the way.
Your Chair
Your chair should have a stable base (for example: five legs with
casters). It is important that the casters be matched to the type of floor
in your workspace (that is, hard surface or carpet).
