Finding a Comfortable Working Position
Eyesight
• There is no evidence that eye damage can be caused by working at video
terminals. Eye fatigue can be caused by a number of factors, such as
glare, the image quality of the video display, uncomfortable furniture, and
uncorrected eyesight.
• If your eyes cannot focus easily to read at different distances, you may need
special glasses to focus at the distance between your working position and
the screen.
• When working at the terminal, relax your eyes periodically by looking at
distant objects.
Physical Discomforts
• Neck, shoulder, back, and arm discomfort may occur after working for
prolonged periods at the terminal. These problems are related to posture
and furniture rather than the terminal.
• Take periodic work breaks. Morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks meet
most recommendations. Take advantage of work breaks to move around
and do simple muscle-relaxing exercises.
Seating Position
• Use a seat that promotes proper posture, with adjustments for seat height
and lower back support. Use a headrest, if needed.
• Place feet flat on the floor or footrest, with lower legs approximately
vertical and thighs approximately horizontal. Place your weight on the
buttocks, not thighs. Avoid compressing the area behind the knees, which
could restrict blood flow.
• Keep your upper body erect and support your lower back with a backrest.
