neck or back: 

y

 

numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation 

y

 

aching, soreness or tenderness 

y

 

pain, swelling or throbbing 

y

 

stiffness or tightness 

y

 

coldness or weakness 

If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent discomfort and/or pain related to 
computer use, consult a physician immediately and inform your company’s health and safety 
department. 
The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer use. 

 

Finding your comfort zone

sitting height to achieve maximum comfort. Observe the following tips: 

y

y

to minimize neck strain
