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 minimize 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 external
monitor.
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen
or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning
your head while you are typing.
Get regular eye check-ups.
