There are no health and safety standards specifically for the use of computers. Good ergonomic guidance suggests:
- Adjust the chair height so you feet can be flat on the ground with your knees roughly bent at 90 degrees and without the front of the seat pan digging into your thighs
- Have good lumbar back support
- Adjust the keyboard so you can comfortably reach the keys without bending your wrists, with your elbows at about 90 degrees
- Adjust the screen so that you can look at the screen by looking straight ahead or slightly down, not upward.
- Avoid or prevent glare on the screen
- Sit up straight - don't slouch
- Take occasional breaks to stretch muscles and rest you eyes by focusing on something at a substantial distance.
