1 minute desk check

It only takes 1 minute to check your workstation. It is important to adjust the chair and the desk equipment every time you change workstation.

Before you start work

• Is the chair high enough that your elbows are at 90 degrees or more when typing?
• Is your back supported by the chair?
• Are your feet flat on the floor? (If not: is there a foot rest available?)
• Is the screen one arm’s length away from you?
• Are the most important things within easy reach?

For further information, please see the checklist below:

1. Screen distance approximately arm’s length
2. Top of screen at eye level
3. Monitor stand or blocks
4. Sufficient desk space
5. Chair back supporting spinal curves
6. Feet flat on the floor (use foot rest if required)
7. Arms at 90 degrees
8. Adjustable chair height
