Ergonomic and healthy working
The input/output devices (monitor, keyboard and mouse) are of ergonomic design to ensure ease-
of-operation.
Inconvenient arrangement of the input and output devices, awkward arm movements or posture, or
working with the keyboard or mouse for lengthy periods without a break can lead to tenseness,
fatigue and damage to the locomotor system (nerves, muscles, tendons and joints). You can con-
siderably reduce the risk of this happening if you follow the advice given below.
•
Arrange your workplace in accordance with the recommendations for an ergonomic workstation
provided in the PC Operating Manual.
•
Position the keyboard so that you can use it without any noticeable strain. The keyboard
should be parallel to the upper part of your body. This prevents any tension in shoulders and
arms.
•
The distance between the keyboard and the edge of the desk should be 5 to 10 cm.
•
When typing, hold your hands and
forearms so that they form as natural a
line as possible.
Do not turn your hands too far to the left
or right.
• Keep your wrists straight while typing.
Do not angle your hands either up or
down.
• Do not rest your hands on the balls of your thumbs while typing, and do not strike the keys too
hard.
• Relax your hands by occasionally taking a break from typing. During these breaks you should
rest your hands on the balls of your thumbs or place your arms on the armrests of your chair.
• When you feel the need, do some exercises to loosen up.
