Workplace Preparation

Positioning the Monitor

Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it
is not near fluorescent desk lighting or any equipment
that produces magnetic fields that could cause
interference. Ensure that the furniture or equipment can
support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches
(50mm) ventilation space around the monitor.

Height

The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the
screen is slightly below your eye level when you sit at
your workstation.

Orientation

Choose a position that gives the least reflection from
lights and windows, usually at a right angle to any
windows. The monitor should be positioned directly in
front of you so that you do not have to twist your body.
Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

Working Practices

Rest

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

Back

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

Hands

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.
