1: Getting Started
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 and screen 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.
