Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice on
what you should consider
before you set up your monitor.
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in front of
you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt the monitor to a
comfortable viewing angle.
Adjusting the Monitor Position
You can tilt the screen backward and forward as shown below.
Working Practices
This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
