NOTICE!
Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections,
glare and light/darkness contrast are avoided
.
You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a window as this is usually the
brightest area of the room and may cause visual impairments during daylight hours.
Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to the window front (see
picture).
You should also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artificial lighting. This means
that in a room lit by artificial light essentially the same criteria and objectives apply. Should
it not be possible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the following measures might
be helpful:
•
Turn, lower or incline the monitor.
•
Place horizontal or vertical shades at the windows.
•
Work in Comfort
NOTICE!
Take regular breaks from the work at your screen to prevent
tenseness and exhaustion
.
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.
