Working Practices
This section gives advice on how you
can reduce fatigue and work
comfortably.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch
occasionally as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
You should sit back in the chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers
relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when
not typing. Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can
be visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and
have your eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may
have to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many
application programs let you select color combinations which can help
you to view in comfort.
