Working with your computer

Working with a

computer

is like working with many

other

types of special

equipment.

You,

and

your body, have to

get

used to working in a way

that

is

initially quite different from the

way

you worked previously. Working with a

computer

requires

• concentration

• close visual working with the screen

•

fr

e

quent

eye movements between screen and work

papers

• sitting still for long periods in an unnatural position

• typing for long periods which can

cause

stress

of

hands. wrists

and

fingers.

The following section is to help you alleviate many

of

these

possible

causes

of

discomfort and stress. Follow the instructions

in

the next

few

pages

and

you'll

always

be

working comfortably.

Positioning yourself and the computer

xi

i

Always make

sure

you'

re

comfortable when you work

at

the

computer. It's

important

that

your seating position is correct in relation to the

computer

screen

and

keyboa

rd

.

Sitting properly

If

possible. use

an

adjustable chair

that

gives

support

to the lower back.

You

should

adjust

the

chair

so

that

you are sitting with a straight back. with y

our

upper

legs horizontal

and

with your feet

fl

at

on

the floor.

Adjust the backr

est

height

so

that

your buttocks

fit

into

the

space

between

the

backrest and the

seat.

The backrest should

support

you in the hollow of

the

back;

adjust

its tilt to give

firm

support in this area.

Your shoulder

and

upp

er arm should also make a right-angle with your forearm

and

hands.

If

you find

that

you need to raise your chair to get the correct

posture

you can

use

a foot r

es

t to make up the gap between your feet and

the

floor.

You

may al

so

be

able to lower

the

desk height.

Gi

ve y

ourself

room

Give

yo

urself

enough

room to use the computer. keyboard

and

mouse

comfortably.

Place your work

items

where you can view them easily

but

not

where they interfere

with the keyboard

or

mouse.

You

might want to use a

Arranging the computer monitor

Your monitor should be positioned

so

that

the top of the screen is

at

eye level

when you are sitting

at

the keyboard. Don't a

ow

your head to hunch forward:keep

your neck relaxed.

You

shou

ld

view

the screen from a distance of

about

50

to

70

centimetres.

Reduce

reflections

Position the

monitor-

the base 'tilts' and 'swivel

s'-

so

that any glare and

reflection from lights and windows is minimised.

You

might want to move the light

XIII

Terminolo

gy

usedin this guide

Ey

estrain

When you

use

a

compute

r, your eyes are continually focused

on

the monitor for a

long time. This makes the eye muscles

work

harder,

so

it is important to have

frequent

short

rest breaks and to look

at

distant

objects from time to time to give

your eye

muscles

a change and a rest.

If

you wear

contact

lenses, they may feel

dry;

this is

because

you tend to blink l

ess

often when staring

at

the screen. Counteract this

by

blinking often.

If

you suffer from eyestrain you may want to have

an

eyesight test;

some

people

who

don't

norma

ll

y wear glasses may

need

them

for

comp

uter

work.

Arrangi

ng

the keyboard and mouse

If

you are

not

a

touch

typist you may find it

easier

if

you

posit

i

on

your keyboard in

from the edge

of

the

desk

so

that

you have

enough

room to rest your forearms.

You

might also try a keyboard wrist mat; this a

ll

ows you to

rest

your wrists

at

the

same

level

as

the

keyboard while you type.

Always try to

use

a light touch when typing; the keyboard keys respond to a very

light pressure. A light touch

will

also help you keep your

hands

and wrists relaxed

which

will

in turn reduce tension

and

fatigue.

Put

the

mouse

where you can easily reach it; norma

ll

y

just

to the side of

the

ke

yboard. Leave plenty of

space

so

that

you can make

unimpeded

mouse

movements easily. Make

sure

that

you use the

mouse

on

a surface on which it ro

ll

s

easily; if your desk is very

smooth

you may find

that

using a

mouse

mat

a

ll

ev

i

ates

the problem of

the

mouse

slipping.

Take a break

After you've

been

working for a while, it's

important

that

you take a break

or

do

something

else

. This gives your body

the

chance to relieve any muscular

tensions

that

may have built up. Stand up

and

move

about

or have a

short

wa

l

k.

Frequent

short

breaks help reduce tiredness and stress.

If you have any problems

If

you devel

op

any discomfort or

pa

in in your

hands

, wrists,

arms

or back, you

should

always

consult

your doctor.
