Working Comfortably

This section provides some tips for creating a comfortable work environment.

Use good posture. Keep your elbows, hips, and knees bent at approximately 90 degree angles and keep your wrists as close to horizontal as possible.

Vary your posture often and take frequent breaks. Stand up, stretch, and move around.

Use a good chair. Make sure your chair supports your lower back. A chair with padded armrests lets you rest your arms as you work.
