Looking after Yourself
• Make sure that you have enough space for all your paperwork
and manuals. A document holder may help to avoid awkward
neck movements.
• Adjust your chair and monitor so that you find the most
comfortable position.
• Check that there are no reflections from windows or bright lights;
if this is unavoidable, adjust curtains and blinds or buy an anti-
glare cover for your monitor.
• Make sure you have enough space underneath your desk to
move your legs freely. Try to avoid excessive pressure on the
backs of your legs and knees. A footrest may be helpful.
• The angle of your keyboard can be adjusted to suit your
preference and a space in front is helpful for resting your hands
and wrists while typing.
• Don’t sit for long periods in the same position, change your
posture as often as practicable. Short breaks away from the
computer will help.
