Your Work Surface
Your Work Posture
• A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and
finished in a "waterfall" edge.
• An adjustable back support in both height and forward and
backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the
lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back.
• A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily from side-to-side.
• Fully adjustable and padded armrests. The chair arms should not
interfere with adjusting the chair or moving it close to your work
surface.

Ideally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.
A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to
first adjust the height of the seat-pan of your chair. With your chair
properly adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work
surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have
your fingers on the keyboard or other input device.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important
that you maintain proper posture.
• Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled
slightly backwards.
• Arms - Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your
sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
