General
– change position frequently (around every 20 to 30 minutes) and take
regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
•
Back
– when sitting at your workstation, your back must be supported by your
chair’s backrest, which must be upright or angled slightly back.
•
Arms
– your arms and elbows should be comfortable and relaxed. Your elbows
should be close to your body. Hold your forearms and hands roughly parallel to
the floor.
•
Wrists
– when working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, wrists should be
elongated and bent at an angle of no more than 10°. Take care to ensure that
your wrists do not rest directly on the edge of the table.
•
Legs
– your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downwards. The lower
legs should form an angle of approx. 90° to the thighs. Your feet should rest flat
on the floor. Use a footrest if you need one, but first ensure that your seat height
has been adjusted correctly.
