That means you work in a comfortable, natural position and avoid straining, overreaching and awkward movements that can lead to painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck tension, tendonitis and upper body aches and pains. · When sitting at your workstation, your feet are flat on the floor. Your seat does not press against the back of your knees or lower legs. · Your monitor is at eye level, straight ahead and at a distance at which you can read the screen without leaning forward or backward. · When you type, your elbows are comfortably at your sides, each elbow at a right angle, and your forearms are parallel to the floor. · Your work materials are within easy reach. · Your keyboard is positioned so that key stroking can be performed with your wrists, hands, knuckles and fingers in a relaxed, natural or neutral position. · You type gently. · Your armrests do not interfere with your movement. · You maintain good posture. · When possible, vary your work activities to break from repetitive motions and constant work positions.
