■
To prevent glare on the screen, avoid working with a window or light source behind you.
Turn off lights or close drapes if necessary.
■
Place your monitor, chair, and work table so that the top of the monitor is slightly below
the top of your head and the screen is 18-28 inches away from you. This may require
placing something under the monitor.
Preventing discomfort and fatigue
Like any activity that involves sitting for long periods of time, using a computer can make
you tired and stiff. In addition, using a keyboard and mouse improperly can sometimes be
associated with RSIs (repetitive stress injuries), particularly in the wrists. Follow these
suggestions to prevent discomfort:
■
Take frequent breaks. Stand up, stretch, and walk around. These breaks are not wasted
time. They help you work more effectively in the long run.
■
Adjust your chair so that your lower back and thighs are supported and your feet are ßat
on the ground (or on a footrest).
■ Adjust your chair and work table so that you can type and use the mouse with your
elbows at a 90¡
angle, your forearms level, and your hands in a straight line with your
forearms. A work table equipped with an adjustable keyboard tray may make this easier.
■
Do not place your wrists on the hard edge of your table. Use a wrist pad.
■
Sit up straight in your chair. Slouching puts unnecessary strain on your back.
■
Do not strike the keys any harder than necessary.
