Ergonomic Notice Now that you have your Micron computer, you will probably spend many hours exploring the capabilities of this machine, and personalizing it for your use. But the computer is only part of the larger picture of ergonomics. Ergonomics is a science that addresses human performance and well-being in relation to various types of jobs, tools, equipment and environment. As you begin to personalize your working environment, it is important to keep in mind your body’s needs to make your computer time more productive with less physical and mental stress. And an effective work area will begin from the ground up. Here are some suggestions: • Use an adjustable chair, and try different seated postures to find what is most comfortable and produces the least fatigue. The backrest should be adjustable to fit the small of your back. • Use an adjustable keyboard support. You want to keep your wrists straight, your hands lower than your forearms and your forearms parallel to the floor. Use a light touch on the keyboard. • Alternate mouse and keyboard use, and keep the mouse within easy reach. • Place the monitor 18-30 inches from your eyes (arm’s length is also a good distance). The top of the monitor should be level with your eyes. • Take breaks from both the keyboard and looking at the monitor. Performing simple exercises while at your work area will increase your productivity. Shrug your shoulders...take a deep breath...change your focus...massage your hands...stretch....let your arms fall relaxed at your sides. No two work areas will ever be the same. Find the combinations that work for you, and keep in mind that proper work area planning will make your computer time more effective, and less stressful on your body. v
