In order to help create a workstation that is ergonomically beneficial, it is important to position each of the various pieces of equipment within your workstation to fit your body rather than trying to fit your body to the equipment.

Proper adjustment of the various components of a workstation to fit you will be easier if you make the adjustments in the following order: Chair, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Document Holder, Workstation Items, and Phone.

If you will be using a laptop for long periods of time, you might consider buying a separate keyboard or monitor. Click here for information on ergonomic use of laptop computers.
