At the start of every ICT session

Whether you are a pupil, teacher or other worker, follow this checklist to help you to look after yourself.

Adjust your chair height to a position that allows your arms to be parallel with the floor when you type. If you cannot now comfortably place your feet flat on the floor, speak to your teacher.
  Adjust the angle and height of your backrest to support your lower back. Adjust the tilt of your seat so that your body is inclined slightly forward. This encourages you to sit upright and keep your back straight.
  Adjust your screen position so that your eyes look down on it slightly (the top of the screen just below eye level).
  Adjust the viewing angle of the screen to minimise reflections and glare.
  Adjust your keyboard so that your desk supports your wrists and forearms, and the angle feels comfortable during use. Your forearms, wrists and hands should form a straight line. Position your keyboard so that you do not have to overreach to use it. Documents should not be placed between you and the keyboard.
  Arrange your desk and equipment to minimise the amount of bending, twisting and stretching. Frequently used items should be accessible without overreaching.
  If you spend a lot of time reading from source documents or copy typing place a document holder beside the screen.
  Take regular breaks. A 5-10 minute break for every hour at a workstation will help. This does not need to be a break from work - do some work away from the workstation. Small breaks from the screen such as collecting printed work also help.
  Take exercise breaks after a prolonged spell of typing and using a mouse. Stretching aids blood flow and helps break up the effects of static postures.
  Have regular eyesight checks.

If you cannot adjust something properly, either because you don't know how or because it is faulty then speak to your teacher or manager.

If you discover that any ICT equipment is damaged, including furniture and other equipment, report it to your teacher or manager.
