as a Remote Worker, there is ergonomic information
available in the balance of
this training.
Used properly in setting up your office, this information can reduce
the likelihood
of injuries.
B The
most important piece of furniture in your home office is your chair.
Make sure it is the
right height, is
adjustable, has a five-point base, gives good back support and feels
comfortable. And
remember:“Sit up
straight.”
C This
is definitely the right time to go out and buy that state-of-the-art
desk, credenza and
file cabinet you’ve
always desired. It will make working at home feel more like working in
an office.
D Make
sure you have good lighting, especially on your task area. If you’re
right-handed,
position your light on
your left to avoid shadows; if you’re left-handed, put it on your
right.
Avoid glare on your
computer screen.
