Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work
habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some
tips to reduce the strain:
Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your
forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.
Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if necessary.
Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.
Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles when you are working.
Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.
Remember to:
Alter your posture frequently.
Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.
Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than
fewer and longer breaks.
Lighting
Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.
Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.
Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.
Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.
Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.
