Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment A-9
!
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources
to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that
ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
!
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-
glare filter.
!
Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a
non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to
minimize dust.
!
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance
readability.
!
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
!
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or
reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your
head while you are typing.
!
Get regular eye check-ups.
