Promoting a Safe and Comfortable Work Environment

comfort zone, as described in this Guide,
and when working at your computer,
frequently adjust within this zone.
MOVE
Vary your tasks so that you can move
◆
around; avoid sitting in one posture all day.
Perform tasks that require walking.

RELAX
Build positive relationships at work and
◆
home. Relax and strive to reduce sources of
stress.
Stay aware of physical tension such as

clenching your muscles and shrugging your
