Working Comfortably
This section provides some tips for creating a comfortable work
environment.
Use good posture. Keep your elbows, hips, and knees bent
at approximately 90 degree angles and keep your wrists as
close to horizontal as possible.
Vary your posture often and take frequent breaks. Stand
up, stretch, and move around.
Use a good chair. Make sure your chair supports your
lower back. A chair with padded armrests lets you rest
your arms as you work.
Keep your copy stand at the same eye level as your screen.
This reduces eye and neck strain. Also, rest your eyes
occasionally by closing them or focusing on a fixed spot in
the distance.
