Tips and information for comfortable use

Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after

prolonged use. Users are also at risk of physical injury after long

hours of working in front of a computer. Long work periods, bad

posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate working conditions,

personal health, and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical

injury.

Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome,

tendonitis, tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The

following symptoms may appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,

neck or back:

• numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation

• aching, soreness or tenderness

• pain, swelling or throbbing

• stiffness or tightness

• coldness or weakness

If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent

discomfort and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician

immediately and inform your company's health and safety

department.

The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer

use.

Finding your comfort zone

Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,

using a footrest or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum

comfort. Observe the following tips:

• refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture

• avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward

• stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg

muscles

• take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders

• avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders
