Key Principles

To promote safety and comfort, follow these principles whenever you use your computer.

Adjust

Adjust your body position and your work equipment. There is no one “right” position. Find your comfort zone, as described in this Section, and when working at your computer, frequently adjust within this zone.

Move

Vary your tasks so that you can move around; avoid sitting in one posture all day. Perform tasks that require walking.

Relax

Build positive relationships at work and home. Relax and strive to reduce sources of stress. Stay aware of physical tension such as clenching your muscles and shrugging your shoulders. Continually release tension. Take frequent short breaks.

Listen

Listen to your body. Pay attention to any tension, discomfort, or pain you may feel, and take immediate action to relieve it.
