It is essential to adjust the furniture and work equipment to promote the well-being and comfort of the worker.<\/p>\n
Spine:<\/strong> In a sitting position, keep your spine straight and flat against the back of the chair;<\/p>\n
Feet:<\/strong> The feet should be perfectly flat on the floor (or if this is not possible, on a footrest) and the knees should be bent at a 90\u00ba angle;<\/p>\n
Chair:<\/strong> The chair is very important and must be suitable for the job, i.e. adjustable in height to adapt to the worker’s characteristics, have lumbar support (backrest) with a protrusion similar to the curvature of the spine and have an armrest;<\/p>\n
Monitor:<\/strong> The computer monitor should be placed at eye level or slightly below and be at arm’s length, between 50 and 70 cm.
\nTo keep the monitor at eye level, you can use a stand, books or even reams of paper, just make sure that the work surface is stable; <\/p>\nLaptop:<\/strong> When using a laptop, it is recommended to use an external keyboard and mouse, and to use an adjustable base to raise the height of the laptop screen.<\/p>\n
3. Correcting the general environment<\/h3>\n
The working space should be clean and tidy and, where possible, have little noise, a comfortable temperature and a window to allow natural light and ventilation.<\/p>\n
The visual demands of working in front of a monitor deserve special attention, so you should check whether there is a need to increase or reduce the available light and use localized lighting. Lighting should be well distributed in relation to the work plane, not cause glare, be sufficient, not flicker and not produce a stroboscopic effect.<\/p>\n
