Every workstation has its unique characteristics.
To increase your comfort, follow these guidelines
when setting up and using your workstation.
A. Adjust the height of your seat so that your feet are resting
rmly on the oor. Use a footrest if you feel that your feet are
not supported properly.
B. The depth of your seat should allow the back of your knees to
extend beyond the edge of your seat. Thighs should be
approximately parallel to the oor.
C. Your forearm should be open at least 90°-100° to your upper arm.
D. Your wrists should not be angled up or down.
E. Set the height of the worksurface so that you can work without
straining or bending. Arrange commonly used items (stapler,
phone etc.) so that they are within easy reach.
F. The top one-third of your computer screen should be at or below
eye-level; the distance between your eyes and the monitor should
be 18” or more — typically arm’s length.
