Ergonomics

Note
Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that
reflections, glare and light/darkness contrast are
avoided.
Note
Take regular breaks from the work at your screen to
prevent tenseness and exhaustion.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's impor-
tant that you maintain proper posture.
• Overall: Change your position frequently and take regular
breaks to avoid fatigue.
• Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your
back is supported by the chair's backrest in erect position or
angled slightly backwards.
• Legs: Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly
downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to
your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If neces-
sary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your
seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
• Arms: Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close
to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately paral-
lel to the floor.
