• Work Surface Height. Your work surface should be height adjustable.
To ensure that your work surface is at the correct height, first adjust
the height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor or on
an angled foot rest, then adjust the work surface height until your
forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the
keyboard or other input devices.
• Chair. Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position
including features such as a height and tilt adjustment feature,
curved seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors,
adjustable back support, a freely rotating swivel, fully adjustable
padded arm rests).
• Monitor. Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or
slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
• Work Surface Arrangement. Make sure that all elements of your HP
workstation system for example, monitor, document holder,
keyboard, mice and other input devices, and headphones and
speakers- are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet your personal
setting up and using your workstation
