Arranging your work area

When you arrange your computer, position your monitor and keyboard directly in front of you. Place the mouse close to the keyboard so that you can use it without stretching or leaning over to one side.

The system unit is usually kept on the floor under or beside your desk. Be sure to place it in an area that will not block the space you need to put your legs under the work surface.

Organize your desk to reflect the way you use work materials and equipment. Place the things that you use most regularly, such as a mouse or telephone, within the easiest reach.
