Developing Good Work Habits
Developing good work habits are important if you need to work in
front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work
habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive
strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following tips
should help reduce the strain:
–Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the
keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow.
Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed
position.
–Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips.
Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if
necessary.
–Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your
lower back comfortably.
–Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form
approximately 90 degree angles when you are working.

Lighting
Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce
eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.
–Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from
overhead lighting or outside sources of light.
–Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and
contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.
–Position the display directly in front of you at a
comfortable viewing distance.
–Adjust the display viewing angle to find the best position.
Remember to:
–Alter your posture frequently.
–Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.
–Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for
long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are
better than fewer and longer breaks.
