Your Monitor

Computer monitors should be placed on the desk so the top of the screen is at, or just below eye level when seated in an upright position. The following suggestions can help prevent the development of eye strain, neck pain and shoulder fatigue while using your computer workstation:

• Position the monitor directly in front of the user to avoid excessive twisting of the neck.
• User must position the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, approximately 18-30 inches from the user.
• Position monitors at right angles from windows to reduce glare. Close window blinds as appropriate to reduce glare from sunlight and overhead lighting.
