computer system at your home or office, note the
following recommendations:

your notebook computer
use a separate, external monitor attached to

ARRANGE YOUR EQUIPMENT
Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural
and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently
within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the
proper height (as described in this appendix) by lowering
the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or
raising the seat height of your chair. Position your notebook
computer directly in front of you for increased safety
and comfort.
ADJUST YOUR CHAIR
Your chair should be adjustable and stable. Vary your
posture throughout the day.
Check the following:
Keep your body in a relaxed yet upright position. The
backrest of your chair should support the inward curve
of your back.
Use the entire seat and backrest to support your body.
Tilt the backrest slightly (90° to 105°). The angle
formed by your thighs and back should be 90° or more.
