Safety Standards for using a PC

Safety Standards for using a PC

Health and safety is require in every aspect of handling PC such as
The monitor should be square in front of you. Not to the right or to the left but right in front. Looking to the side, together with other bad habits, will twist the spine and neck.
The Keyboard should be straight in front of you and easy to reach. Your wrists should be fairly straight - see the red line in the picture above. You may want to invest in a wrist support, which lies in front of the keyboard and can be bought from computer shops.
Keep the mouse close to your keyboard and work area. Your lower arm should be about parallel to your desk with your elbows just a little lower. Don't let the weight of your arm rest on the underside of your wrist. There are special mouse pads with a gel wrist rest which provide great support.
