Quick tips for healthy work habits
The following information is a summary of some important factors to consider to help you remain
comfortable and productive while you use your computer�
•
Good posture starts with equipment setup: The layout of your work area and the setup of
your computer equipment have a large effect on your posture while using your computer� Be
sure to optimize the position and orientation of your equipment by following the tips outlined
in "Arranging your work area"on page 2-1 so you can maintain a comfortable and productive
posture� Also, be sure to use the adjustment capabilities of your computer components and
office furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your preferences change over time.
•
Minor changes in posture can help avoid discomfort: The longer you sit and work with
your computer, the more important it is to observe your working posture� Avoid assuming any
one posture for an extended period of time. Periodically make minor modifications in your
posture to help deter any discomforts that might arise� Make use of any adjustments that your
office furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture.
•
Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing: Because computing is primarily a
static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from your work� Periodically,
stand up from your work area, stretch, walk for a drink of water, or otherwise take a short
break from using your computer� A short break from work gives your body a welcome change
in posture and helps to ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do work�
