Chapter 3. Arranging Your Workspace
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use
and your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your
comfort is of foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the
location of electrical outlets also can affect the way you arrange your
workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, the following
guidelines will help you find a position that suits you best.
Choose a good chair to reduce the frequency of fatigue from sitting in the
same position for a long time. The backrest and seat should adjust
independently and provide good support. The seat should have a curved
front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs
are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor or on a
footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the
keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed. You can change the angle of
the keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the
keyboard feet.

Height
Adjust the monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye
level. Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61
cm (20 to 24 in.), and position it so you can view it without having to twist
your body.
