90 Setting up a healthy work environment
Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid
reaching when using your keyboard or mouse.
If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the
keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight
and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp
the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely.
Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near your
body and your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your
forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in the
manner described previously. If you do not have armrests or
forearm supports, your upper arms should hang comfortably
at your sides.
Adjust your keyboard slope so that your wrists are straight
while you are typing.
