Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment A-7
Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard. Use a
wrist pad only to rest your wrists between typing. Avoid resting your
wrists on sharp edges.
Type with your wrists straight. Instead of twisting your wrists
sideways to press hard-to-reach keys, move your whole arm. Keep
from bending your wrists, hands, or fingers sideways.
Press the keys gently; do not bang them. Keep your shoulders, arms,
hands, and fingers relaxed.

shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when you position the
