Chapter
2.
Arranging
your
workspace
To
get
the
most
from
your
computer,
arrange
both
the
equipment
you
use
and
your
work
area
to
suit
your
needs
and
the
kind
of
work
you
do.
Your
comfort
is
of
foremost
importance,
but
light
sources,
air
circulation,
and
the
location
of
electrical
outlets
can
also
affect
the
way
you
arrange
your
workspace.
Comfort
Although
no
single
working
position
is
ideal
for
everyone,
here
are
a
few
guidelines
to
help
you
find
a
position
that
suits
you
best.
Sitting
in
the
same
position
for
a
long
time
can
cause
fatigue.
The
backrest
and
seat
of
your
chair
should
adjust
independently
and
provide
good
support.
The
seat
should
have
a
curved
front
to
relieve
pressure
on
the
thighs.
Adjust
the
seat
so
that
your
thighs
are
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
feet
are
either
flat
on
the
floor
or
on
a
footrest.
When
using
the
keyboard,
keep
your
forearms
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
wrists
in
a
comfortable
position.
Use
a
light
touch
on
the
keyboard
and
your
hands
and
fingers
relaxed.
Change
the
angle
of
the
keyboard
for
maximum
comfort
by
adjusting
the
position
of
the
keyboard
feet.
Viewing Distance
Lower
Back
Support
Seat
Height
Adjust
the
monitor
so
the
top
of
the
screen
is
at,
or
slightly
below,
eye
level.
Place
the
monitor
at
a
comfortable
viewing
distance,
usually
51
to
61
cm
(20
to
24
in.),
and
position
it
so
you
can
view
it
without
having
to
twist
your
body.
Also,
position
other
equipment
you
use
regularly,
such
as
the
telephone
or
a
mouse,
within
easy
reach.
Glare
and
lighting
Position
the
monitor
to
minimize
glare
and
reflections
from
overhead
lights,
windows,
and
other
light
sources.
Reflected
light
from
shiny
surfaces
can
cause
annoying
reflections
on
your
monitor
screen.
Place
the
monitor
at
right
angles
to
windows
and
other
light
sources,
when
possible.
Reduce
overhead
lighting,
if
necessary,
by
turning
off
lights
or
using
lower
wattage
bulbs.
If
you
install
the
monitor
near
a
window,
use
curtains
or
blinds
to
block
the
sunlight.
You
can
adjust
the
brightness
and
contrast
controls
on
the
monitor
as
the
room
lighting
changes
throughout
the
day.
