For this reason, it is very important to take time and think about how you are going to arrange your work area. Here are some points to consider: Adjusting your chair Having the right kind of chair does not necessarily mean that you'll be properly supported. It is necessary to adjust your chair to fit your body. Proper body posture will make you more comfortable and productive. • Avoid tilting your chair. If you have a chair that tilts, lock those tilt knobs so that your chair will not tilt forward or backward while you are using your computer. Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the floor. Rest your body on the chair back. Your torso works harder to maintain balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back. • • Positioning your PC • Do not put your computer near any equipment that might cause electromagnetic or radio frequency interference such as radio transmitters, televisions, copy machines, or heating and airconditioning equipment. Avoid dusty areas and extremes of temperature and humidity. You may place your computer beside your desk or under your table, as long as it does not block the space that you need for working and moving. • • Positioning your monitor Place your monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60 centimeters away. Adjust the display in such a way that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.

Arranging a comfortable work area
Working safely begins with the arrangement of your work space and
the proper use of equipment. For this reason, it is very important to
take time and think about how you are going to arrange your work
area.
Here are some points to consider:
Adjusting your chair
Having the right kind of chair does not necessarily mean that you’ll be
properly supported.
It is necessary to adjust your chair to fit your body.
Proper body posture will make you more comfortable and productive.
Avoid tilting your chair.
If you have a chair that tilts, lock those tilt
knobs so that your chair will not tilt forward or backward while
you are using your computer.
Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with
your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the
floor.
Rest your body on the chair back.
Your torso works harder to
maintain balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back.
Positioning your PC
Do not put your computer near any equipment that might cause
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference such as radio
transmitters, televisions, copy machines, or heating and air-
conditioning equipment.
Avoid dusty areas and extremes of temperature and humidity.
You may place your computer beside your desk or under your
table, as long as it does not block the space that you need for
working and moving.
Positioning your monitor
Place your monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60
centimeters away.
Adjust the display in such a way that the top of the
screen is at or slightly below eye level.
