 Environmental Tips

• Whenever possible, don’t print.

• Use e-mail attachments
• Encourage your school to use web technologies, let students upload
their schoolwork.
• Buy ink cartridges that are made with mostly recycled plastic.
• And when your ink runs out, bring the cartridge to a retailer that will
make sure it is recycled. Many retailers often offer a discount on a
new cartridge when you turn in an empty one.

things people use.
• The design of the workplace
incorporates comfort, efficiency,
and safety
• Fit the task to the user to
avoid:

• Back and neck pain
• Repetitive strain injury
 Ergonomics
Some recommendations to avoid physical discomfort associated with heavy
computer use:
• To avoid eyestrain and headache
• Take a 15-minute break every hour
• Keep everything you’re focusing on at the same distance
• Clean the screen periodically.

• To avoid back and neck pain

• Use adjustable equipment, adjust chairs for height, angle, and back support
• Position monitors at eye level or slightly below.
• Use footrest, if necessary, to reduce leg fatigue.

• To avoid repetitive strain injury (RSI)

• Use ergonomically correct keyboards
• Take frequent, short rest breaks
• Gently massage hands.
 Ergonomics workplace
