A-8 Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment
Adjust Your Monitor
Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce eye,
shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when you position the
monitor.
! Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly
below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when
viewing the middle of the screen.
! Position your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no farther away
than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is between 14
and 18 inches.
! Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet
away. Blink often.
