Proper Posture
Adjust the heights of desks and chairs appropriate to
your height.
The heights are to be adjusted so that your arm forms a
right angle when you place your hand over the keyboard
while sitting down on a chair.
Adjust the height of chair so that your heel is comfortably
placed on the floor.
Do not use the computer while you are lying down, but
only while you are sitting down.
Do not use the computer on your lap. If the computer
temperature increases, there is a danger of burning
yourself.
Work while keeping your waist straight.
Use a chair with a comfortable back.
Keep the center of your leg weight not on the chair but
on your feet when you are sitting on a chair.
To use the computer while talking over the telephone,
use a headset. Using the computer with the phone on
your shoulder is bad for posture.
Keep frequently used items within a comfortable work
range (where you can reach them with your hands).
