What are some do's and don'ts for home office ergonomics?
assistant
Do's:
1. Sit in an ergonomic chair with good lumbar support.
2. Make sure your monitor is at eye level and at a comfortable distance from you.
3. Place your mouse or trackpad close to your keyboard, so you don’t have to overextend your arm to use them.
4. Take short break every hour to get up and walk around.
5. Establish a comfortable working space with adequate lighting.Don'ts:
1. Don't pull your desk close to the walls to gain extra workspace; this will cause you to turn your head and may lead to neck strain.
2. Don’t sit with poor posture, such as hunching your shoulders or slouching.
3. Don’t leave your chair unadjusted— ensure it’s set up appropriately to your size and weight.
4. Don’t forget to have adequate ventilation in your workspace.
5. Don’t keep your laptop on your lap while working; it can cause heat buildup and strain the back and shoulders.
