RRANGING OUR

Papers and Books

Select a work surface or surfaces that are
large enough to hold the computer equip-
ment and any additional items required for
your work. To help minimize eye fatigue,
position any materials to which you fre-
quently refer at about the same viewing
distance.
Minimizing Your Reach
Arrange your frequently used papers, books,
or other items to minimize the distance you
reach for them. If you frequently refer to
books, papers, and writing materials, and if
you use a keyboard tray, make sure the tray,
when extended, doesn't cause you to lean
forward or reach excessively. This can stress
your shoulders and back. If you find that such
stress occurs, you may want to consider a
different type of work setup.

Using a Document Holder
If you use a document holder, position it
near the monitor at the same distance,
height, and angle as the monitor. Positioning
the holder in this way can increase your neck
comfort as you refer back and forth between
your papers and the display screen, by
helping you keep your head balanced over
your shoulders.
If your primary task is typing from paper
documents, you may find it more comfort-
able to place your document holder directly
in front of you and your monitor slightly to
one side, or on a slant board between your
monitor and keyboard. Consider this option
only if you spend more time looking at the
paper than at your monitor.
WRONG!
Don't arrange your work area in a way that
causes you to repeatedly strain forward to see
and reach frequently used items such as books,
papers, or a phone.
