Workstation Checklist

Take 5 minutes to assess your workstation

Desk

• Is your desk large enough for the tasks you need to do?
• Is it free of clutter?
• Do you have legroom beneath the desk?

Chair

• Is your chair set up for you to offer back support and at the right height to offer comfort for your arms?
• If your chair has arms, are they adjustable and do they fit comfortable under the desk?

Keyboard

• Is your keyboard located in front of you?
• Is it suitable for your needs?

Mouse

• Is your mouse located as close to your keyboard as possible to encourage  your arms to be at right angles?
• Is it of a suitable size and design for your needs?
• Do you require a mouse rest?

Screen

• Is the top of the screen at or below eye level so you can read it without bending your head or neck down/back?
• If you wear bifocals is the screen positioned as low as possible to avoid pulling your head back?
• Is the screen the right distance away to allow you to read the screen without leaning your head, neck or trunk forward/backward?
• Is the monitor directly in front of you so you don't have to twist your head or neck?
• Is your screen free from glare and reflections (for example, from windows, lights)?

Telephone

• Is it located on the opposite side to your dominant hand?
• Can it be used with your head in neutral?
• Do you require a headset for inputting data while you are talking?

Document Holder

• Do you require a document holder?
• If you have a document holder, is it positioned at the same height and distance away as your screen?
