Ergonomics

Someone in our library offices sent this out a few years ago. I'm spending more time at the computer, so I've found this helpful. Hope you do, too.

Is your Workstation arranged so everything is within easy reach?

Is your Chair adjusted so:
Feet rest flat on floor or footrest
Thighs parallel to floor
Lower back supported
Wrists straight
Arms at about a 90 degree angle to keyboard

Is your Screen:
At or below eye level
Positioned to avoid glare
At a comfortable viewing distance
Clean
Brightness and contrast adjusted for clarity

Are you remembering Each Day to :
Practice good posture
Take stretch/relaxation breaks
Change position
Rest eyes
