Comfort and accessibility
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and
to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your
individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work
habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer. For more

Arranging your work area
Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you to work
in comfort.
Organize your work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. Keep your
work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and place the items that
you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or telephone, within the easiest reach.
Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The following topics
describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and maintain good working posture.
Positioning your monitor
Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering the
following items:
•
Viewing distance:
Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on ambient light and time
of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by repositioning your monitor
or by modifying your posture or chair position. Use a viewing distance that is most
comfortable for you.
•
Monitor height:
Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a comfortable and
neutral (vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not have height adjustments,
you might have to place books or other sturdy objects under the base of the monitor
to achieve the desired height. A general guideline is to position the monitor such that
the top of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are comfortably
seated. However, be sure to optimize your monitor height so the line of site between
your eyes and the center the monitor suits your preferences for visual distance and
comfortable viewing when your eye muscles are in a relaxed state.
•
Tilt:
Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of the screen content
and to accommodate your preferred head and neck posture.
•
General location:
Position your monitor to avoid glare or reflections on the screen
from overhead lighting or nearby windows.
