Positioning of the Monitor
Please ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that that reflections, glare and light-dark contrast are
avoided (as this will make the screen less attractive to look at).
(Ill.: Monitor positioning)
Your posture
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or
injury, it's important 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 approxi-
mately 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 sideways, 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 downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle
to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have
your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
Overall -
Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
