With a growing number of people spending a majority of their workweek in front of a computer monitor, there has been a new focus on developing the proper safety protocols in this area to prevent some of the health risks associated with such a prolonged, rigid working situation. First off, it is important to keep in mind that ideal ergonomic design is individualized; however, these pointers can be used to accommodate anyone with a personal or a shared work space. Starting from the top, the computer monitor should be at or just below eye level. A document holder should be positioned near the monitor at the same height. Your neck should be aligned with your spine, and your shoulders should be relaxed. A headset is recommended for extended phone use. Your arms should be at your sides with your elbows bent at or slightly less than 90 degrees. Your hands should be as straight as possible while typing and in line with your forearms. Your chair should be supporting your lower back, and your feet should be resting flat on the floor or on a foot rest. Basically, listen to your body, take breaks when needed, and avoid undue stress.The information party rocks on: CNET’s top 3D monitors
