Headaches, muscle stiffness, and eye fatigue are common signs that you could work more comfortably. Keeping everyday items within easy reach is a great start to lessening strain but when your office is set up with ergonomics in mind, you’ll stay fresh longer and work more productively! See how you can make your work area more comfortable below.
SEATING
The right chair makes all the difference in being comfortable all day. Choose a chair that can be adjusted for your comfort. The height should be set so that your knees are level with your hips when your feet are on the floor.
COMPUTER STANDS, ANTI-GLARE SCREENS & COPY HOLDERS
Headaches can put a damper on being productive. Set up your computer monitor so that the top of the screen is just below eye level, about an arm’s length in front of you. Copy holders are available with highlighted line guides and adjustable viewing placement. Anti-glare filters and screens will also relieve eye strain.
FOOTRESTS & BACKRESTS
Footrests elevate feet and legs to relieve lower back pressure while backrests support your back and spine promoting good posture. Both can relieve pains associated with long periods of sitting.
WRIST RESTS & GLOVE
S
Soreness and fatigue in the hand, wrist and forearm is uncomfortable and preventable. Increase comfort and support and relieve pressure points with wrist rests and therapeutic gloves.
