Developing Good Work Habits
Developing good work habits is 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 are some tips to 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 approxi-
mately 90-degree angles when
you are working.
