Office Safety: Ergonomics / Video Display Terminals

3. don’t extend viewing time, constant rapid muscular action, or fixed body positions for long periods of your time. Take periodic breaks from the display screen terminal by standing up and stretching.

2. When operating keyboards from a standing position, adjust table tops no above the elbow height.
3. When operating keyboards from a sitting-down position, use the correct chair height. The entire sole of your foot should rest on the floor or footrest and the back of your knee should be 1 to 2 inches higher than the seat of your chair.
4. Use a chair with back support. Your backrest should support the whole back including the lower back region.
