Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
This section gives advice
on how you can work
comfortably and reduce fatigue.
Back
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have
to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application
programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in
comfort
