Sit Smart! Work Smart!

Seven steps for a smarter you:

Screen Smart

• Reduce the glare on your computer screen by adjusting the tilt of the monitor; keep a viewing distance of 50 centimeters. Position monitor such that you look at the screen with a slight downward tilt.

Eyes Wise

• Look away from the screen for 3 to 5 minutes after every 40 minutes of continuously working on the computer.

Shoulders Relaxed

• Keep your shoulders relaxed while sitting

Get the Angle Right

• Good posture while sitting means that the angle between your trunk and thighs is 90 to 120 degrees

Elbows Easy

• Elbows should form a 90 to 120 degree angle when using the keyboard. Keep the mouse close to the keyboard

Papers Properly Placed

• Place the papers you need close to the screen. All that twisting around isn’t good for your spine.

Feet Firmly on Floor

• Keep both feet supported on the floor. This reduces pressure on your lower back.
