How To Have A Healthier Work Space

The document discusses how to create a healthier work space through proper ergonomics. It recommends adjusting your chair, keyboard, monitor and taking breaks. Specifically, it suggests positioning your chair so your hips are back and feet flat, having your keyboard and monitor at arm's length directly in front of you at eye level, and taking short breaks every 10-15 minutes to stretch and relax your eyes, muscles, and posture. Maintaining proper form and balance along with regular exercises can create an effective ergonomic work environment.

Ergonomics

How to have a healthier work space.

I learned that there are multiple ways that can help a workstation become more ergonomic.
You can simply do this by adjusting your chair, keyboard, monitor and breaks. First example
chair: hips as far back as they can go in the chair, Adjust the seat height so your feet are flat
on the floor and your knees are equal to, or slightly lower than, your hips, Adjust the
armrests so that your shoulders are relaxed. Another example keyboard: Pull up close to
your keyboard, Position the keyboard directly in front of your body. Also monitor: Center the
monitor directly in front of you above your keyboard, Sit at least an arm's length away from
the screen and then adjust the distance for your vision, Use a headset or speakerphone to
eliminate cradling the handset. Another one are breaks: Rest your eyes by covering them
with your palms for 10-15 seconds. Performing simple stretches throughout the workday
increases circulation and flexibility,improves posture, and reduces tension and the chance of
injury. Ex: standing up and stretching back, walking 10-15 minutes. Running is also very
effective. Proper exercises are the best way to an effective and complete office ergonomics
program.
