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
y
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
y
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
y
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.
