To develop a comprehensive checklist for setting up an ergonomic workstation, promoting


comfort and productivity in both office and home environments.

o Adjust so that feet are flat on the floor or on a footrest.
o Knees should be at a 90-degree angle or slightly open.
• Lumbar Support:
o The chair should have a lower back support that fits the curve of your lower back.
o Adjust lumbar support to maintain natural spine curvature.
• Armrests:
o Position armrests so that elbows are close to the body and form a 90-degree angle.
o Adjust height so that shoulders are relaxed.
• Seat Depth:
o Ensure there is 2-4 inches of space between the back of the knees and the edge of
the seat.
o The seat should support thighs without putting pressure on the back of the knees.
2. Desk Setup

• Desk Height:
o The desk should be at a height where elbows are at a 90-degree angle when
typing.
o Feet should remain flat on the floor with thighs parallel to the ground.
• Keyboard and Mouse Placement:
o Keyboard and mouse should be positioned so that wrists remain straight and
relaxed.
o Both should be at or slightly below elbow height.

o Monitor should be at least an arm’s length away, or about 20-30 inches.
• Height:
o The top of the screen should be at or just below eye level.
o Adjust so you are looking slightly downward at the screen.
• Angle:
o Monitor should be tilted slightly back (15-20 degrees) to reduce glare and strain.

• Keyboard Position:
o Place the keyboard directly in front of the monitor.
o Keep it at a height where your wrists are straight, and elbows are at 90 degrees.
• Mouse Position:
o Position mouse close to the keyboard to avoid stretching.
o Use a mouse pad with wrist support if needed.

5. Lighting

o Position workstation to take advantage of natural light without causing glare on
the monitor.
• Task Lighting:
o Use adjustable task lighting to illuminate documents and work surfaces.
o Avoid direct light reflecting off the monitor.
• Glare Reduction:
o Position monitor to minimize glare from windows or overhead lights.
6. Breaks

• Regular Movement:
o Take a break every 30-60 minutes to stand, stretch, and move around.
• Stretching:
