Work Habits; Operating The Computer In Tablet Mode - Toshiba Satellite R10 User Manual

Work habits

A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your
activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your workday. If you
must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the
routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
■
Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment
as described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and
ease back strain.
■
Vary your posture frequently.
■
Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly.
■
Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during
the day.
■
Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a
distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every
15 minutes.
■
Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for
example, two or three minutes every half hour.
■
Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly, if you
suspect you might be suffering from a repetitive strain injury.
A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury
or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics or for
pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, please
check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the computer's
Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort.
