7.3. Setting up and positioning
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast
in order to protect your eyes.
The monitor should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest
part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to
adjust to the darker monitor.
The monitor should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to
the window frontage.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting
equipment. In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the work-
space is illuminated with artificial light.
If it is not possible to position the screen as described, the following can be helpful:
•
Rotate, lower or tilt the monitor;
•
Slatted or vertical blinds on the windows;
•
Partitions or changes to artificial lighting.
PLEASE NOTE!
Take regular breaks when working at your monitor to
prevent tenseness and fatigue.
Sitting for a long time without changing position can be uncomfortable. Correct
posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical problems or damage.
