OUR POSTURE
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's im-
portant that you maintain proper posture.
Back -
While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled
slightly backwards.
Arms -
Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to
your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the
floor.
Wrists -
Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using
the keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent side-
ways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.
Head -
Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward.
Avoid working with your head or trunk twisted.
Legs -
Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down-
ward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs.
Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a foot-
rest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted
correctly before getting a footrest.
