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�

• 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�

• 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.

• 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�
