Planning An Ergonomic Work Space

Before you set up your new computer, find the best location for your new computer and plan your work space. There are

several ergonomic factors to consider when you arrange your work space:

Stable work surface —Use a stable work surface large enough to support the computer and other peripheral

equipment.

Ventilation —Leave at least eight inches of space on both sides of your computer and at least 5 inches of clearance

for the back.

Placement of the mouse and other input devices —Place your computer, mouse, or other input devices so that

your arms and hands are in a relaxed, comfortable position. The computer's keyboard should be directly in front of

you. Keep your wrists in a relaxed position when you are using the keyboard—not angled up or down. Position the

mouse at the same level as the keyboard. Hold the mouse with a relaxed hand, and use your whole arm to move it.

Take breaks during sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the mouse or a joystick may strain muscles or

tendons.

Furniture and posture —Sit in a chair with good back support and armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your

feet are flat on the floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit with relaxed, upright posture—avoid

slouching forward or leaning far backward.

Viewing angle of the display —Position the unit so that the display is 18 to 26 inches directly in front of you, with

the top of the screen at or a little below eye level. Use the display's tilting feature to find the best position. You can

reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by placing the display in the proper position.

Lighting —Choose a location where windows and lights do not create glare and reflection on the display. Use

indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on the display. You can also purchase accessories for your display that help

reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.
