Quick tips for healthy work habits
The following information is a summary of some important factors to consider to help you remain
comfortable and productive while you use your computer.
•
Good posture starts with equipment setup:
The layout of your work area and the setup of your computer equipment have a large effect on your
posture while using your computer. Be sure to optimize the position and orientation of your
equipment by following the tips outlined in
"Arranging your work area"on page 2-8 so you can
maintain a comfortable and productive posture. Also, be sure to use the adjustment capabilities of
your computer components and office furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your
preferences change over time.
•
Minor changes in posture can help avoid discomfort:
The longer you sit and work in front of your computer, the more important it is to observe your
working posture. Avoid assuming any one posture for an extended period of time. Periodically make
minor modifications in your posture to help deter any discomforts that might arise. Make use of any
adjustments that your office furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture.
•
Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing:
Because computing is primarily a static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from
your work. Periodically, stand up in front of your work area, stretch, walk for a drink of water, or
otherwise take a short break from using your computer. A short break from work gives your body a
welcome change in posture and helps to ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do
work.
