Medical Recommendations
Every day, literally millions of people are exposed to long hours of concentrated work sitting bent over in front of a computer monitor. Considering the level of muscular stress to which the back is eposed over a typical office working lifetime, the risk of suffering back injuries resulting from overextension is high. In additon, incorrect monitor position in relation to eye level and eye distance are contributing factors to dangerous eye strain and resultant headaches.
The following are a few recommendations for minimising
the risk of injury in the office workplace:
Table elevation (a minium of 720 mm)
The correct posture on a healthy chair
Monitor height and correct distance of the eye to the screen
