Arrange Your Equipment
Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and
relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy
reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height by
lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or
raising the seat height of your chair. To create more desk space,
you can put your computer base on the floor.
