A WORD ABOUT ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics is the study of how people with their different physical
characteristics and ways of functioning relate to their working environment (the furnishings and machines they use). The goal of Ergonomics
is to incorporate comfort, efficiency, and safety into the design of keyboards, computer desks, chairs, and other items in an effort to prevent
physical discomfort and health problems in the working environment.
If your budget permits, buy ergonomically designed furniture such as
chairs, shelves, and desks that fit your physical characteristics and work
methods.
You can create an ergonomically improved workstation without spending much money. Following are a few tips to help you work effectively
without a lot of physical discomfort:
• Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position, with your
elbows at your side.
• Position the keyboard and mouse so that you do not have to reach for
them.
• Don’t strike the keys too hard; type with a soft touch.
• Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on
a footrest.
• Use a chair that provides good back support.
• Try to place the monitor so that there is little glare from the sun on the
monitor.
• Walk around the room every hour.
• Every half-hour look away from the computer screen for a few minutes.
• Vary your tasks throughout the day.
• Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.
