Placement of the computer
Proper placement of the computer and external devices is
important to avoid stress-related injuries.
❖
Place the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable
height and distance. You should be able to type without
twisting your torso or neck, and look at the screen
without slouching.
❖
If you are using an external monitor, the top of the
display should be no higher than eye level.
❖
If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height
and distance as the screen.
Seating and posture
When using your computer, maintain good posture with your
body relaxed and your weight distributed evenly. Proper
seating is a primary factor in reducing work strain. Some
people find a backless chair more comfortable than a
conventional chair. Whichever type you choose, use the
following guidelines to adjust your chair for maximum
computing comfort.
