• Telephone headset, if needed
• Body upright or slightly reclined back
• Shoulders and upper arms relaxed, elbows at about 90o
• Document holder, if needed, close to monitor
• Task lighting to reduce glare on screen
• Lumbar support for lower back
• Arm rests just below forearms with shoulders relaxed, or remove arm rests
• Thighs approximately parallel to the floor
• Mouse close to keyboard
• Wrists in line with forearms, not bent up, down or to the sides
• Rest wrist just below wrists or no wrist rest
• Space between lower legs and front of seat pan
• Feet on floor, or on a foot rest if desk height is not adjustable
