Chapter 2.
Arranging Your Workspace
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and your
work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do.
Your comfort is of
foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of electrical
outlets also can affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few guidelines
to help you find a position that suits you best.
Sitting in the same position for a long time causes fatigue.
A good chair can make a
big difference.
The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide
good support.
The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the
thighs.
Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are
either flat on the floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists
in a neutral, comfortable position.
Try to keep a light touch on the keyboard and
your hands and fingers relaxed.
You can change the angle of the keyboard for
maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
