Safety Instructions

Working in Comfort
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the
potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper
posture.

Back – While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported
by the chair’s backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.

Arms – Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides,
with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.

Wrists – Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the
keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more
than 10 degrees up or down.

Legs – Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your
lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest
flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have
your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.

Head – Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid
working with your head or trunk twisted.

Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid
fatigue.
