Your Safety & Comfort Checklist
Notebook Computer

between relaxed shoulders and a comfortable neck
posture?
❒ Do you avoid resting your wrists on your thighs while
typing?
❒ When using the computer on a couch or bed, do you
avoid reclining too far to avoid neck fatigue?
❒ When computing for long periods, have you tried lifting
your notebook computer with a block or book and
using an external keyboard and pointing device?
General Prevention

once per hour?
❒ Do you exercise regularly?
❒ Periodically, do you take inventory of the stress in your
life and change what is within your control to change?

relate to your using a computer, whether you
experience them during work or at other times, have
you consulted a doctor and, if available, your
company’s health and safety department?
