Let's improve our workstations...!

To improve your workstation , choose workstation tools that fit your personal physical and comfort needs, such as:
· A desk or work surface:
o Large enough to accommodate papers, reference manuals, and other workstation tools, but arranged properly to access items easily.
o At a height that allows enough space for your knees and thighs to comfortably fit under the desk.
o That is not shiny.
· A computer monitor that is:
o Clear and easy for you to see without leaning forward or looking up or to one side.
o At a height where the top of the screen is at eye level, or within 15 degrees below eye level.
o Less than an arm's length away from you.
o Protective against eyestrain, which may lead to vision problems and headaches. For example, glare guards are available either as part of the monitor or to be placed over the monitor screen. Plasma screens also have less glare than other monitors.
