Safety and Comfort
14-7
Back
Use your chair to fully support your body. Distribute your weight evenly and use
the entire seat and backrest to support your body. If your chair has adjustable low
back support, match the contours of the chair’s backrest to the natural curve of
your lower spine.
Getting comfortable
Always make sure your lower back is well-supported. Make sure it feels
comfortable in the position in which you are working.
RIGHT!
Distribute your weight evenly and use the entire
seat and backrest to support your body.
WRONG!
Don't slouch forward.

HINT: ADJUST OFTEN:
If your chair is adjustable, experiment with the adjustments to
find numerous comfortable positions, then adjust the chair frequently.
AVOID!
If you get a new adjustable chair, or if you share a chair with someone else, don’t
assume the settings are properly set for you.
