TIPS
Walk
Get up from your
desk frequently and
take brief walks.
Leg comfort
Vary your leg
positions throughout
the day.
AVOID!
Avoid placing boxes
or other items under
your desk that limit
your leg room. You
should be able to
pull yourself all the
way up to your desk
without interference.
Safety & Comfort Guide
Feet, Knees, and Legs
Make sure your feet can rest solidly and comfortably on
the floor while sitting. Use an adjustable work surface and
chair that allow your feet to rest firmly on the floor, or use
a footrest. If you use a footrest, be sure it is wide enough
to accommodate different leg positions within your
comfort zone.
Providing Enough Leg Room
Be sure you have sufficient space under your work
surface for your knees and legs. Avoid concentrated
pressure points along the underside of your thigh near the
knee and the back side of your lower leg. Stretch your
legs and vary your leg posture throughout the day.
RIGHT
Rest your feet
firmly on the floor
or a footrest.
Finding Your Comfort Zone
WRONG!
Do not dangle your
feet and compress
your thighs.
