Ergonomics 101



~Computer screen should be at eye level. Not looking up or down. (Keeps tension off neck)

~Forearms should be at a slight angle w/ the hands slightly lower then your elbows. You should think of this when positioning your keyboard. (This keeps the tension/ stress off the shoulders)

~Knees slightly lower than the hips. (This keeps tension off of the lower back.

~Be sure to have a good lumbar support. (They put them in our automobiles, why do we ignore their importance's at work?)

~The best chairs have a movable seat and arm rest so you can raise or lower them so that you can set your space up to your height.
