12-24 Safety and Comfort
Vary Your Tasks
Examine your work habits and the types of tasks you perform. Break up the routine
and try to vary your tasks during the day. By doing so, you may avoid sitting in one
position or performing the same activities continuously for several hours using
your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or back. For example, you could print out your
work to proofread rather than proofing from your monitor.
Reduce Sources of Stress
Take an inventory of things at work that are stressful to you. If you perceive that
your physical or psychological health is being affected, take time to evaluate what
changes you can make to reduce or eliminate the sources of stress.
Try it and see
Contrary to what some may believe, several studies have found that productivity
*
does NOT decline when frequent short breaks are added to the day.
Breathe deeply
Breathe fresh air deeply and regularly. The intense mental concentration that may
accompany computer use may tend to cause breath-holding or shallow breathing.
