14-20 Safety and Comfort

RIGHT!

Relax your thumbs and fingers while typing
and pointing; notice and release excess tension.

WRONG!

Don’t type or point with unnecessary tension in
your thumbs and fingers.

*

Keep it Light

If your typing is on the heavy side, teach yourself to lighten up. Press the keys more
gently.

“Hunt-and-Peck” Typing

Non-touch-typing causes the neck to bend forward repeatedly. To minimize this
repetitive movement, learn how to touch-type so you don’t need to look down at the
keyboard as often.

AVOID!

Avoid banging on the keys. Don't use more force than needed to press the keys.
