Chair & Workstation Guidelines

Adjusting Your Chair and Workstation

  • Adjust lumbar (lower back) support by moving the back rest up or down to match the inward curve of your spine.
  • Adjust the tilt of the back rest and/or seat to keep our body supported in an upright position.
  • Adjust the seat height for adequate leg clearance under the workstation and keep the keyboard at approximately elbow level.
  • Adjust your monitor so that the top of the screen is at or just below eye level and is a viewing distance of between 18" and 24".
  • Use a document holder that places documents at the same height as the monitor.
