Health4U Active Workplace Guide: Setting up your Workstation

Published on by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

The workstation – during the working day you are constantly revolving around your desk and work space, even if you’re in and out of meetings all day. But is your workstation set-up to optimize your comfort and productivity? Here are a few tips on organizing your workstation for the best results:

  • Focus on your keyboard, hands/arms, chair, and monitor first. Keep your keyboard center, elbows relaxed and slightly open and your chair at a level where your feet are flat on the floor.
  • Utilize support pads such as wrist, lumbar and armrests. These will alleviate pressure on the lower back and other joints.
  • Center your keyboard, mouse and monitor so the portion you use the most is center to your body. You should not need to twist to see the screen comfortably.

Other best practices include getting up to walk around throughout the day and to utilize angles for your chair, monitor and keyboard that are the most comfortable.
