Your Desk

A well-designed and appropriately adjusted desk should provide adequate clearance for your legs, allow proper placement of computer components and accessories, and minimize awkward postures and exertions.

Suggestions:

  • The computer monitor should be in front of you and at least 20 inches away.
  • Avoid storing items, like the CPU, under your desk.
  • A suitable desk should accommodate a variety of working postures.
  • Keep your desk uncluttered to avoid poor mouse and keyboard placement.
  • The location of frequently used devices, such as your phone and mouse, should remain within the primary work zone.
  • Using a corner rather than a straight run of desk may provide additional space and depth to accommodate large monitors or multiple items.
