Ergonomics considerations for the home and office
Practicing good ergonomics doesn’t end when you leave the office. If you work from home, NSC recommends you:
- Ensure your office chair has proper lumbar and arm support, and that it can be adjusted to your height.
- Keep your feet flat on the ground or on a footrest.
- Adjust your computer monitor so the distance from your eyes to the screen is at least 18 inches.
- Keep your keyboard and mouse at elbow height.
- Ensure your lighting is neither too dim nor too bright.
- In addition, be sure to take breaks frequently. Look away from your screen every 15 minutes, and regularly get out of your chair to move around and stretch.
