Millions of
people work with computers every day. This eTool*
illustrates simple, inexpensive principles that
will help you create a safe and comfortable computer
workstation. There is no single “correct”
posture or arrangement of components that will fit
everyone. However, there are basic design goals,
some of which are shown in the accompanying figure,
to consider when setting up a computer workstation
or performing computer-related tasks.
Consider your workstation as you read through each
section and see if you can identify areas for improvement
in posture, component placement, or work environment.
This eTool provides suggestions to minimize or eliminate
identified problems, and allows you to create your
own "custom-fit" computer workstation.
