Using the OmniBook Working in Comfort Comfort and Safety Checklist These recommendations are drawn from the latest available international ergonomic standards and recommendations, including ISO 9241 and ANSI/HFS 100-1988. 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). • Head: Do not tilt your head forward by more than 15 degrees, and try not to turn your head toward the side. • Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards. • Arms: Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with your upper arm perpendicular to the floor or slightly forward. Keep your forearms and hands Setup Guide 33
