EMPLOYEE WELLBEING Reduce Wrist Pain Mouse Pads & Wrist Rests: Best Practice Position your mouse within easy reach, to prevent over extending your arm. Sit upright and close to the desk, so your mouse arm is not stretched. Support for wrists and forearms reduces the load on the upper limbs & shoulders as well Expert Mouse® Wireless Trackball as unnecessary extension and flex of the wrist. Rest your fingers lightly on the buttons and K72359WW do not press them hard.
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING Reduce Back Pain Back Rests & Backpacks: Best Practice The backrest of your chair should not give and lean back separately from the seat of the chair. If you do wish to lean back and relax, the seat and backrest should lean back together from a joint beneath your seat. Height of a backpack should extend approximately 2 inches below your shoulder blades to waist level or slightly below. Let a roller bag take the strain on business trips and commutes.
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING Reduce Neck Pain Stands: Best Practice Ensure that when the monitor is placed on to a stand it is at arm’s length away from you. If you use two screens, position them side by side, and at equal space in front of you. Choose a height adjustable stand to allow optimum screen position for your personal comfort.
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING Reduce Leg Pain Foot Rests: Best Practice Place your feet on a footrest and split time between sitting & standing to relieve the pull on your lower back. When a footrest is properly positioned, you should feel light pressure under the front of the thighs. Foot rests should be movable, but heavy enough to stay in place when feet are resting on it.
