The Ergonomics of Work
The elements of a true ergonomic workstation integrate seamlessly to create ideal working conditions. Free from pain and discomfort, the user will be more productive and work in higher spirits.
Here are 10 tips for creating the ultimate ergonomic workstation and working in ideal comfort:
1. Position the top of the monitor slightly below eye level
at an arm’s reach away.
2. Place a task light opposite the writing hand to illuminate
documents.
3. Center the monitor, keyboard and reference documents with
the body’s midline.
4. Use a negative tilt keyboard system to keep the wrists
straight and body reclined.
5. Position the mouse next to the keyboard to minimize reaching.
6. Relax the shoulders and keep the arms and elbows close
to the body.
7. Work in a reclined position to reduce weight load on the
spine and back muscles.
8. Take two or three one-minute rest breaks per hour.
9. Place the feet flat on the floor or a footrest.
10. Store the CPU off the desk and floor.
