Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment A-5
Press the keys gently; do not bang them. Keep your
shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers relaxed.
ADJUST YOUR SCREEN OR MONITOR
Correct placement and adjustment of the screen or external
monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check
the following when you position the screen or external
monitor.
Adjust the height of your screen or external monitor so
that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing
the middle of the screen or external monitor.
Position your screen or external monitor no closer than
12 inches and no further away than 28 inches from your
eyes. The optimal distance is between 14 and 18 inches.
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at
least 20 feet away. Blink often.
Position the screen or external monitor at a 90° angle to
windows and other light sources to minimize glare and
reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights
do not reflect on your screen or external monitor.
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen
or external monitor, use an anti-glare filter.
Clean your screen or external monitor regularly. Use a
lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-alcohol, neutral,
non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to mini-
mize dust.
Adjust the screen or external monitor’s brightness and
contrast controls to enhance readability.
Use a document holder placed close to the screen or ex-
ternal monitor.
