Simple Workstation Ergonomics Tips

The setup of your workstation can have a major impact on your health! Here's some simple ergonomics tips to reduce stress on your back and neck:
  1. Position the top of your monitor screen to be at eye level or slightly below eye level.
  2. Center your body in front of the monitor and keyboard so that you're not constantly twisting your back.
  3. Forearms should be level or tilted-up slightly, and wrists should not rest while typing.
  4. Chair should provide lower back support.
I find it helps to set a timer to go off every half hour to remind yourself to get back into good posture position. I'll go into more detail on workstation ergonomics in upcoming posts, so stay tuned!
