How to Set Up a Healthy Work Environment
Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk
of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner
described in this section.
Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness,
throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,
neck, back, and/or legs.
Making Your Computer Work for You
Computers are everywhere. More and more people sit at computers for longer periods of time.
The following information explains how to set up your computer to fit your physical needs. This
information is based on ergonomics — the science of m aking the wor kplace fit the needs of the
worker.
Some nerve, tendon, and mu scle disor d ers (mu sculoskeletal disor ders) ma y be associat ed with
repetitive activities, improper work environments, and incorrect work habits. Examples of
musculoskeletal disorders that may be associated with certain forms of repetitive activities
include: carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, de Quervain’s te nosynovitis, and
trigger finger, as well as other nerve, tendon, and muscle disorders.
Although some s tudi e s have shown an ass ociation be tween in creasi ng hours of keyboa rd us e and
the development of some musculoskeletal disorders, it is still unclear whether working at a
computer causes such disorders. Some doctors believe that using the keyboard and mouse may
aggravate existing musculoskeletal disorders.
Some people are more susceptible to developing these disorders due to preexisting conditions or
psychos ocial fa ctors (see “Pr eexisting Condi tions and Psychosocial Fact or s ” later in the
document).
To reduce your risk of developing these disorders, follow the instructions in this document. If
you experience discomfor t while working at your com p u ter or afterwards, even at night, contact
a doctor as soon as possible. Signs of discomfort might include pain, tenderness, swelling,
burnin g, c rampi ng, st iffn ess, throbbing , weakness, soreness , ting ling and/or numbness in t he
hands , wrists, arm s, shoulders, neck, back , and/or leg s.

Arrange Your Equipment
Adjust
your chair
Adjust
your keyboard
and mouse
Adjust
your monitor
Arrange your eq ui pment so that you can work in a natura l and relax ed position. Place items that
you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height (as
described in this ) by lowering t he ta ble or st a nd that hol ds your computer equi pment or raising
the sea t h eight of your chair. To cr eate more desk s p ace, you can put your computer base on the
floor.
Adjust Your Chair
Your chair should be adjustable and stable. Vary your posture throughout the day.
14 NEC PowerMate eco Gettin g St arted Guide
Check the following:
Keep your body in a relaxed yet upright position. The backrest of your chair should support
the inward cur ve of your back.
Use the entire seat and backrest to support your body. Tilt the backrest slightly backwards.
The a ngle forme d by your t highs and back sh ould be 90° or m ore.
Your seat depth shoul d allow your lower back t o c omforta bly con tact the ba c krest. Ma ke
sure that the backs of your lower legs do not press again st the front of t he ch air.
Extend your lower legs slightly so that the angle between your thighs and lower legs is 90°
or more.
Place your feet flat on the fl oor. Only use a footrest when attempt s to a d just your chair and
workstation fail to keep your feet flat.
Be sure th at you have adequat e clearance bet w een the top of your thi ghs and th e underside
of your workstation.
Use armrests or forearm supports to support your forearms. If adjustable, the armrests or
forearm supports should initially be lowered while all the other adjustments discussed in
this document are made. On ce all these adjustmen ts are completed, raise the armrests or
adjust the forearm supports until they touch the forearms and allow the shoulder muscles to
relax.
Adjust Your Input Devices
Follow these points in positioning your keyboard and mouse.
Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid reaching when using your keyboard
or mouse.
If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard.
Keep your wrists s tr aight an d u se your entire arm when moving a mouse. D o not grasp th e
mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely.
Adju s t th e keyboa rd height so tha t your elbows are near your body a nd your for e arm s a re
parallel to the floor, with your forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in
the manner described previously. If you do not have armrests or forearm supports, your
upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides.
Adju s t your keyb oard slop e s o t hat you r wrists are straigh t whi le you are typing.
NEC PowerMate eco Getting Started Guide 15
Type with your hands and wrists float ing above the keyboard. Use a wris t pad only to r e s t
your wrists between typing. Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.
Type with your wrists straight. Instead of twisting your wrists sideways to press hard-toreach ke ys, move your whole arm. K e ep from ben ding your wrists, han ds, or fingers
sideways.
Press the keys gently; do not bang them. Keep your shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers
relaxed.
16 NEC PowerMate eco Gettin g St arted Guide
Adjust Your Monitor
Correct placem ent and adju s tment of the monitor can reduce eye, s houlder , and neck fatigue.
Check the following when you position the monitor.
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your
eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
Position your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no farther away than 28 inches from
your eyes. The optimal dis tance is betwe en 14 and 18 in ches.
Rest your eyes period ically by foc using on a n object at le ast 20 fe et away. Blink often .
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows an d other lig h t sources to min im ize glare
and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
Clean your monit or r eg ularly. Use a lint-fr ee, non-a brasive cloth and a non- alcohol, n eutral,
non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize dust.
Adjust the monitor’s brigh tness and con trast controls to en h ance readability.
Use a document hol d er placed close to the screen.
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material)
directly in front of you to mini m ize turning your head while you are typing.
Get regu lar eye check - ups.
NEC PowerMate eco Getting Started Guide 17
Vary Your Workday
If you use you r com puter for prolonged peri ods, follow these i nstr uctions.
Vary your tasks throughout the day.
Take frequent short breaks that involve walking, standing, and stretching. During these
breaks, stretch muscles and joints that were in one position for an extended period of time.
Relax muscles and joints that were active.
Use a timer or reminder software to remind you to take breaks.
To enhance blood circulation, alter your sitting posture periodically and keep your hands
and wrists warm.

Pre-existing Conditions and Psychosocial Factors
Pre-existing conditions that may cause or make some people more susceptible to
musculoskeletal disorders include th e following: hereditary factors, vascul ar disor d ers, obesity,
nutr itional d efi cienci es ( e.g., Vitamin B defici ency), endocrine disord ers (e.g., diabetes),
horm onal imbalances, connective t issue di s orders (e.g., arthr itis), prior traum a ( to the hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, or legs), prior musculoskeletal disorders, aging, fluid
retention due to pregnancy, poor physical conditioning and dietary habits, and other conditions.
Psychosocial factors associated with these disor ders include: workplace stress, p oor job
satisfaction, lack of support by management, and/or lack of control over one’s work.
Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness,
throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,
neck, back, and/or legs.
