Arranging a comfortable work area

Working safely and comfortably begins with the arrangement of your work space and the proper use of equipment. For this reason, it is very important to take time and think about how you are going to arrange your work area. Refer to the diagram on the following page as you set up your system.

Here are some points to consider:

Adjusting your chair

Having the right kind of chair does not necessarily mean you'll be properly supported. It is necessary to adjust your chair to fit your body. Proper body posture will make you more comfortable and productive.

Avoid tilting your chair. If you have a chair that tilts, lock the tilt knobs so that your chair will not tilt forward or backward while you are using your computer.

Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the floor.

Rest your body on the chair back. Your torso works harder to maintain balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back.

Positioning your PC
