Setting Up and Using Your System

Working in Comfort and Safety

Chapter 1 35

• Feet. If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet

comfortably on the ﬂoor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be

adjusted in height and angle.

Additional Ergonomic Issues

• Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce

eyestrain. Focus on distant objects brieﬂy, and blink periodically to

lubricate your eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a

regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for

working on a computer monitor.

• Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body.

Keeping your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and

stressful. When prolonged work is required, take frequent short

breaks. As a rule of thumb, a ﬁve or ten minute break every hour is a

good idea. Short frequent breaks are more beneﬁcial than longer less

frequent breaks. Data show that people who work for long periods of

time without a break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.

• Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness.

Examples: alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, ﬁling,

and moving around in your work environment, helps you maintain a

relaxed posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands,

arms, shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often

as you take brief task breaks — at least once every hour.

• Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs

and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm

rests, keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription

eyeglasses, anti-glare screens,and more. Seek additional information

from the sources available to you, including your employer, doctor,

local ofﬁce supply store, and the Information Sources listed in the
