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 in front of your computer, the more important it is to

observe your working posture. Avoid as summing 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 in front of 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.

Eye Strain

● Break Times

Computer users should take some time away from the screen especially if working for

prolong hours. Generally, it is recommended to take short breaks (5 – 15 min.) after

1 –2 hours of continuous computer works. Taking short and frequent breaks is more

advised than longer breaks.

Looking at Distant Objects

Users often blink less when in front of monitor screen. To minimize eye strain and

dryness, users should rest the eye periodically by focusing on objects that are far away.

Eye Exercises

1. Alternate looking up and looking down while keeping the body and head upright.

2. Slowly roll your eyes to look to the left and right.

3. Roll eyes to look at objects on the upper right corner and then on lower right. Do

same thing to look at objects on the upper left and lower left.

Concerns on blue light affecting eye health have risen over the years. Blue light have

wavelength between 300 nm to 500 nm. The monitors have a factory setting that reduces

blue light emissions. Users can enable low blue light mode on these monitors from the

OSD settings.
