Plan your workstation
Make your workstation work for you. If you spend a lot of time there
it's important to get it right.
What's your main task?
What is your main workstation? Do you have a desk, or do you use your checkout counter
for paying bills and placing orders? Think about the kind of work you'll be performing here.
If it involves a computer, consider an ergonomically rounded desktop.
A desk with depth supports your wrists and arms, accommodates keyboard and mouse
and allows you to place the monitor at arms length from your eyes.
An adjustable desk enables you to work at a height that suits your body. You need room
to turn 90 degrees either way and stretch your legs.
A rounded desktop invites to have a chat or quick meeting right at your desk.
A side table extends your worktop and keeps the main desk free from clutter. It's also perfect
for your printer, fax, etc.
The right lighting for the job
Good lighting makes working easier and more comfortable. Go to "Get your light right"
to see lighting in detail.
Choose the right chair
Invest in a chair today and your body will thank you tomorrow. See what to look for in
"Choose the right chair".
Storage
Store things you use frequently close at hand. For instance in a drawer unit or on a shelf by
or on your desk.Store things you only need occasionally in a cabinet or on a shelf nearby.
This makes sure you get up and take a few steps, increasing your circulation.
