General
•
Work Surface Height: Adjust either your seat height, work surface, or both, to
position the work surface at approximately elbow height.
•
Work Surface Arrangement: Make sure frequently used equipment is within easy
reach. For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in
front of you, not to the side. If you are primarily using the mouse, place it in front
of your hand or arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them
both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used,
the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other items, such
as your telephone or notepad, also should be considered.
•
Monitor: Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly below,
eye level (up to 15 degrees).
•
Head: Do not tilt your head forward by more than 15 degrees, and try not to turn
your head toward the side.
•
Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by
the chair’s backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.
