A-6 Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment
ADJUST YOUR KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
Follow these points in positioning your keyboard and
mouse.
■ Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid
reaching when using your keyboard or mouse.
■ If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the
keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists
straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse.
Do not grasp the mouse tightly.
■ Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near
your body, and your forearms are parallel to the floor.
Your upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides.
■ Adjust your keyboard slope so that your wrists are
straight while you are typing.
