Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the poten-
tial for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.
Overall :
Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
Back :
While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair’s
backrest. This should be in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.
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 be-
fore getting a footrest.
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 track-
ball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.
Head:
Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with your head
or neck twisted.
