Key Principles

To promote safety and comfort, follow these principles whenever you use your
computer.
Safety and Comfort
Adjust
Adjust your body position and your work equipment.
There is no one "right" position. Find your comfort
zone, as described in this Section, and when working at
your computer, frequently adjust within this zone.
Move
Vary your tasks so that you can move around; avoid
sitting in the same position all day. Perform tasks that
require walking.
Relax
Build positive relationships at work and home. Relax
and strive to reduce sources of stress. Be aware of
physical tension such as clenching your muscles and
shrugging your shoulders. Continually release tension.
Take frequent short breaks.
Listen
Listen to your body. Pay attention to any tension,
discomfort, or pain you may feel, and take immediate
action to relieve it.
Remember
Remember to exercise regularly and maintain general
fitness. Doing this will help your body withstand the
rigors of sedentary work. Respect any medical condi-
tions you may have or other health factors you may
know of. Adjust your work habits accordingly.
