cumulative trauma disorders such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

# Observe sensible guidelines when using any keyboard to help minimize

the possibility of injury.

# Follow established guidelines for computer and workstation setup. See

Appendix, “Ergonomic Guidelines for Computer Workstations.”

# Maintain a proper keying posture and use a light touch to press the keys.

# Exercise good judgment in placing reasonable limits on your keyboarding

time every day.

# Ensure that you take reasonable rest breaks from keyboarding during the

course of the day.

# At the first sign of stress-related injury from keyboard use (aching,

numbness, or tingling of arms, wrists, or hands), consult your health care
professional.
