Prevent Ergonomics Injuries

If you spend the bulk of your day seated at a desk and working on a computer, protect yourself from common strains and injuries related to posture and repetitive movement:

1. Adjust your equipment (chairs, keyboards, mouse location, etc.) so it's comfortable to use. If you're on assignment and working with unfamiliar equipment, ask your supervisor to demonstrate key adjustability features.
2. Keep your feet on the floor. Reduce pain and discomfort by NOT crossing your legs while you work, and by lowering your seat so your heels are on the ground.
3. Use document holders to reduce neck strain and muscle imbalance caused by repeatedly looking down at the desk and back at a computer screen.
