Working in Comfort

Comfort and Safety Checklist

These recommendations are drawn from the latest available

international ergonomic standards and recommendations, including ISO

9241 and ANSI/HFS 100-1988.

General

 Work Surface Height - Adjust either your seat height, work sur-

face or both, to position the work surface at approximately elbow

height.

 Work Surface Arrangement - Make sure frequently used equip-

ment is within easy reach. For example, if you are primarily using

the keyboard, place it directly in front of you, not to the side. If you

are primarily using the mouse, place it in front of your hand or arm.

If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the

same work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used,

the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard.

Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, also should be con-

sidered.

 Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or

slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
