Healthy Computing Guide
Introduction
This guide is designed to help you be more comfortable and productive
while using your computer. It may also help you reduce your risk of
experiencing painful and disabling injuries or disorders described in the
Health Warning earlier in this manual.
It only takes a moment to read, but the benefits can be lasting.
For information about arranging your workstation and developing habits that may
help to reduce your risk of experiencing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD), read
this “Healthy Computing Guide.” Because there are a variety of factors that may
contribute to MSDs, this guide cannot provide everything you need to know to
prevent an MSD or reduce your risk of experiencing one. For some people, following
the suggestions may reduce their risk of experiencing an MSD. For others, it may not.
However, many people experience greater comfort and productivity when following
these suggestions. Keep in mind that this guide is not a substitute for the advice of
a qualified health professional or an employer health policy or program. If you have
questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition
may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
Position Yourself
Whether you are working or playing, it is important to avoid awkward postures and
position your body comfortably. Not only can this improve your overall productivity,
it may help you avoid MSDs. Keep in mind that changing your posture during
extended tasks may also help you avoid discomfort and fatigue.
When working or playing at the computer, adapt your surroundings and arrange your
computing equipment to promote a comfortable and relaxed body posture. Setting
up your workstation to avoid discomfort depends on your unique body size and work
environment. However, the following suggestions may help to provide you with a
more comfortable environment.
