This document provides guidelines for proper posture when using display screen equipment. It recommends that the workstation be set up so that the top of the screen is at eye level about an arm's length away. The keyboard should be below elbow height and the seat should equally support the front and back of the thighs. When using a laptop, the display screen should be separate from the laptop and a keyboard and mouse should also be separate to allow the screen to be elevated.
