Important Information
Under circumstances of poor posture or poor setup up, certain recent scientific articles suggest
that injuries may occur. Other articles suggest that there is no cause and effect. Because the
safety of our users is a great concern, it is important to take these precautions:
•
Be comfortable in your work space.
•
Change your posture frequently.
•
Proceed according to the recommendations in the following table and figure.
Adjust
So . . .
Chair
Feet are flat on the floor.
Legs are vertical forming a right angle to the floor.
Your weight is off your thighs and they are horizontal.
Keep the back of your knees away from the seat so you do
not compress the area behind them, which could restrict the
blood flow.
Your upper body is erect and your lower back is supported
with a backrest.
Keyboard or mouse
Your wrists are straight and do not bend more than 15
degrees. They may be supported when resting but not on
sharp edges. Type comfortably, with no more key pressure
than needed to feel the contact point.
Upper arms are straight down at your sides, elbows are
close to your sides and support your arm weight. Forearms
are at a 70 degree to 90 degree angle.
If you use a mouse, rest your hand on the mouse so your
wrist is not on the work surface. Operate the mouse close
to your body’s centerline.
