Arranging your workspace
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and
your work area tosuityourneeds and thekindofworkyou do.Your comfortisof
foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of
electrical outlets can also affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, the following
guidelines will help you find a position that suits you best.
Choose a good chair to reduce the frequency of fatigue from sitting in the same
position for a long time. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and
provide good support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on
the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your

When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a neutral, comfortable position.
Glare and lighting
Position the monitor and adjust the tilt to minimize glare and reflections from
overhead lights, windows, and other light sources. Place it at right angles to
windows andother light sourceswhenever possible. Reduceoverhead lighting, if
necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you install the
monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight. You might
have to adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls on the monitor as the room
lighting changes throughout the day.
Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, place an
antiglarefilter overthe screen. However, thesefilters mightaffecttheclarity ofthe
