CONCEPT NOTE:
Ergonomics - fitting a job to a person to help lessen muscle fatigue, increases productivity and reduces the number
and severity of work-related MSDs.

1. What furniture will you use?

• Make sure that the computer (monitor, keyboard, mouse) is placed on a stable working surface (nothing
that wobbles) with adequate room for proper arrangement. If the work surface is going to be used for
writing on paper and computer use, the flat surface should be between 28 to 30 inches above the floor
(suitable for most adults).

2. What chair will be used

• Choose a comfortable chair for the user to sit in. If only one person is using this the chair can even be at
a fixed height providing that it is comfortable to sit on and has a good backrest that provides lumbar
support. If more than one person will be using the computer, consider buying and a chair with several
ergonomic features.

3. What kind of work will the computer be used for?

• Word processing: arranging the best keyboard/mouse position is high priority.
• Surfing the net, graphic design: arranging the best mouse position is high priority.
• Data entry: arranging the best numeric keypad/keyboard is a high priority.
• Games: arranging the best keyboard/mouse/game pad is a high priority.

4. Posture, posture posture!

Good posture is the basis of good workstation ergonomics. Good posture is the best way to avoid a
computer-related injury. To ensure good user posture:

5. A good workstation ergonomic arrangement will allow any computer user to work in a neutral, relaxed,
ideal typing posture that will minimize the risk of developing any injury.

6. Where will the computer be used?

Think about the following environmental conditions where the computer will be used:
• Lighting - make sure that the lighting isn't too bright. You shouldn't see any bright light glare on the
computer screen.
• Ventilation - make sure that you use your computer somewhere that has adequate fresh-air ventilation and
that has adequate heating or cooling so that you feel comfortable.
7. Take a break! All Ergonomists agree that it's a good idea to take frequent, brief rest breaks: Practice the
following:
➢ Eye breaks
➢ Micro-breaks
➢ Rest breaks
➢ Exercise break

1) Cite two [2] ergonomic guidelines in computer operation.

the text will appear when you type. Keep the cursor at the text insertion point
and start typing the text. The text appears to the left of the insertion point as
you type –

point reaches the end of the line, word automatically starts a new
one. You will need to press Enter, to add a new paragraph.
• When you want to add more than one space between words, use the Tab key instead of the spacebar.
