You've explored the ergonomic guidelines for furniture and equipment, and now it's time to put your knowledge to the test.
Select the specific areas or objects in the workstation that require adjustment.
Options:
Your chair needs to be adjustable to allow your knees to be bent at a right angle. It should also be adjusted to allow your feet to rest flat on the floor. Footrests may be used.
Furniture and equipment should be positioned to prevent excessive twisting, reaching, and leaning. Placing your computer monitor just below eye level can help reduce awkward postures.
When using a keyboard, your wrists should be straight rather than bent – with the upper arm vertical and the forearm at a 90-degree angle to the upper arm.
Having a correctly placed footrest is an example of good ergonomics. This footrest doesn't need to be adjusted since it's already correctly placed. Now the person should just make use of it.
