Working Practices

This section gives

advice on how you can work comfortably and reduce fatigue.

Rest

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.

Back

You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.

Hands

Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be relaxed with your elbows near your body.

Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing. Consider using a wristpad.

Eyesight

Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your eyesight checked regularly.

Screen settings

Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in comfort. See the User con trols section for more information.
