Basic ergonomic tips

• Adjust monitors so the area you spend the most looking at is straight ahead.
• Hold forearms at a right angle to your body and parallel to the floor. Keep them close to your body.
• Keep thighs parallel to the floor and feet flat or on a footrest.
• Try not to perform repetitive activities for too long (i.e.- do some filing after typing for an hours, adjust your posture or standup for a minute or two after sitting for an hour, etc.)
• Bring the mouse as close to your body as possible.
• Use wrist rests to support the palms and wrists.
• Use overhead lights that give off soft and non-glaring illumination.
• Use a telephone headset to eliminate strain caused by cradling a phone.
