Document holders keep printed materials needed during
computer tasks close to the user and the monitor. Proper positioning of
document holders depends on the task performed and the type of document being
used. Appropriate placement of the holder may reduce or eliminate risk factors
such as awkward head and neck postures, fatigue, headaches, and eye strain.
Potential
Hazard
- Documents positioned too far
from the monitor may require awkward head postures or frequent movements of the head and neck to look from the monitor to
a document. Those awkward postures can lead to muscle fatigue and
discomfort of the head, neck, and shoulders.
- Document holders should
- Allow you to place documents at or about the same height and distance as the monitor screen
- Be stable when loaded with heavier documents such as a textbook.
- A document holder can be positioned directly beneath the monitor. This provides a sturdy writing surface, if written entries are necessary, and reduces frequent movement of the head, neck, or back.
- Task lighting on the document
should not cause glare on
the monitor.
