Work Habits • Get out of your chair regularly through out the day. • Avoid extended periods of continuous computer use by taking short breaks or performing other tasks intermittently between periods spent on the computer. A maximum of 40 minutes continuous computer use at any one time is recommended. • Avoid pounding on the keys while typing. • Place frequently used equipment and objects within functional (easy) reach. • Take stretch/exercise breaks every 40 minutes during your work day. It just takes a few seconds to enhance your productivity. • Adjust the screen contrast and brightness to reduce glare and produce a clear character definition. Less eye strain usually means less neck pain. • Organise the work area to provide sufficient space for the variety of tasks undertaken. • Follow the recommendations for good sitting posture at the workstation thus reducing muscle fatigue. • Keep physically fit by exercising regularly. Good cardiovascular fitness enhances your energy for your job. • Maintain a constant awareness of preferred neutral postures not only at work, but in all modes of your life. Your health follows you wherever you go. • Attend to persistent aches and pains by seeking the advice from your physiotherapist. |
