Desks and desktop accessories - Useful Tips

Put simply, you should never let your desk arrangements dictate how you work or sit. Whether you are at home, in the office or sharing a desk, always arrange your working area to suit you. This sounds like common sense, but many people tend to neglect basic comfort principles.

Ideas such as:

♦A desk or workstation should give the user a comfortable height and position to work at.

♦Keep work and frequently-used desktop equipment within easy reach.

♦No awkward stretching, twisting, lifting or leaning at the desk or elsewhere.

♦Desk and seat heights should be set so working by hand is best done at elbow level.

♦Avoid work surfaces thicker than 30mm or work places which obstruct a user’s legs.

♦Desks need to be deeper nowadays to provide room for computers, screens and workers.

♦Adjustable-height desks are ideal for people of differing heights who share a desk.

♦Hand or forearm support may be required for tasks using close hand-eye coordination.

Don’t hesitate to adjust your chair, desk accessories and desk (if you can) to suit whatever task you need to perform. If you can vary your tasks every so often, so much the better. Try to keep your workspace tidy.

♦Most keyboards have fold-down feet to adjust them for tilt.

♦Keep your elbows in and your mouse close to you. Avoid over- stretching.

♦A combined mouse pad and wrist rest is surpris- ingly comfortable.

♦Look away from the screen towards infinity once in a while.

♦Take all your official breaks. Or ask for some.

♦Avoid glare, use blinds or screen filters and insist on good lighting.

Multi-user workstations:

♦Desk height may need to be height-adjustable for sit/stand usage.

♦Chair seat depth may need to be adjustable in order to suit each user.

♦Adjustable back height and lumbar support on chairs may also be very useful.

♦Chair arms should have adjustable height, width, depth and even swivel top options.

♦A chair must legally support the heaviest of the multi-users

♦Computer screen height, size and defenition should be adjustable and acceptable to all users
