Key Principles
To promote safety and comfort, follow these principles whenever you use your
computer.
Adjust
Adjust your body position and your work
equipment. There is no one “right” position.
Find your comfort zone, as described in this
Section, and when working at your computer,
frequently adjust within this zone.
Move
Vary your tasks so that you can move around;
avoid sitting in one posture all day. Perform
tasks that require walking.
Relax
Build positive relationships at work and home.
Relax and strive to reduce sources of stress.
Stay aware of physical tension such as
clenching your muscles and shrugging your
shoulders. Continually release tension. Take
frequent short breaks.
Listen
Listen to your body. Pay attention to any
tension, discomfort, or pain you may feel, and
take immediate action to relieve it.
