Preparing Your Work Environment What can I do to avoid RSI? Some people who use computers may experience physical discomfort during their use. This discomfort may be a symptom of a repetitive strain injury. Properly setting up and using computing equipment can help to minimize your chances of experiencing this discomfort. Well-designed and properly adjusted equipment alone may not be sufficient to eliminate all potential problems. Maintaining good posture and positioning when working on computers also has a significant bearing on your comfort. What if I experience discomfort? If you are experiencing any discomfort, seek professional medical advice immediately. Typically, the earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated, the easier it is to resolve. Preparing Your Work Environment When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work environment contribute to your comfort and productivity. Your Chair It's very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position and offers the following features: • A stable base, such as five legs with casters. Make sure the casters are designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace, whether it is bare or carpeted. • A height- and tilt-adjustment feature. It should be easy to adjust your chair height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured from the top of the seat pan to the floor. If you are much taller or shorter than average, you may need a chair that can be adjusted beyond this range.

Your Chair
It's very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position and offers
the following features:

Make sure the casters are
designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace, whether it is bare or

It should be easy to adjust your chair
height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured from the top
