Quick

tips

for

healthy

work

habits

The

following

information

is

a

summary

of

some

important

factors

to

consider

to

help

you

remain

comfortable

and

productive

while

you

use

your

computer.

v

Good

posture

starts

with

equipment

setup

:

The

layout

of

your

work

area

and

the

setup

of

your

computer

equipment

have

a

large

effect

on

your

posture

while

using

your

computer.

Be

sure

to

optimize

the

position

and

orientation

of

your

equipment

by

following

the

tips

outlined

in

“Arranging

your

work

area”

on

page

2-1

so

you

can

maintain

a

comfortable

and

productive

posture.

Also,

be

sure

to

use

the

adjustment

capabilities

of

your

computer

components

and

office

furniture

to

best

suit

your

preferences

now

and

as

your

preferences

change

over

time.

v

Minor

changes

in

posture

can

help

avoid

discomfort

:

The

longer

you

sit

and

work

with

your

computer,

the

more

important

it

is

to

observe

your

working

posture.

Avoid

assuming

any

one

posture

for

an

extended

period

of

time.

Periodically

make

minor

modifications

in

your

posture

to

help

deter

any

discomforts

that

might

arise.

Make

use

of

any

adjustments

that

your

office

furniture

or

equipment

provide

to

accommodate

changes

in

posture

v

Short,

periodic

breaks

help

ensure

healthy

computing

:

Because

computing

is

primarily

a

static

activity,

it

is

particularly

important

to

take

short

breaks

from

your

work.

Periodically,

stand

up

from

your

work

area,

stretch,

walk

for

a

drink

of

water,

or

otherwise

take

a

short

break

from

using

your

computer.

A

short

break

from

work

gives

your

body

a

welcome

change

in

posture

and

helps

to

ensure

you

remain

comfortable

and

productive

while

you

do

work.
