Keyboard Slope Document Holder Thigh Clearance ≥6cm Keyboard Height 64-76cm General • Work Surface Height - Adjust either your seat height, work surface or both, to position the work surface at approximately elbow height. • Work Surface Arrangement - Make sure frequently used equipment is within easy reach. For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in front of you, not to the side. If you are primarily using the mouse, place it in front of your hand or arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, also should be considered. • Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees). 22
