Use the monitor brightness, contrast controls, if equipped to optimize the image on your

screen to meet your visual preferences.

Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure to

periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to allow your eye

specialist for advice.

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.

y

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.

y

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.

y

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.
