Apply ergonomic guidelines for safe computer use.

Application should include

  • demonstrating the positioning of the body for the hardware being used
  • positioning the body according to the type of desk being used, including standing desks and adjustable desks
  • positioning the keyboard directly in front of a chair, even with the front edge of the desk and at elbow height so wrist movement is not restricted
  • adjusting visual components (e.g., placing the monitor 18 to 24 inches from the eyes, with the top edge of the display screen at eye level)
  • taking short breaks every hour to relax the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, and fingers
  • identifying ergonomic guidelines for other devices (e.g., gaming, smartphones, tablets).
