For example, a ream of paper is one way to lift your screen up to the correct eye level! The aim is to prevent injury from occurring and provide the support required for you to work safely in your workplace. To minimise these symptoms make sure you pause every few minutes and look away from the screen. Minimise glare from light sources (e.g. tilt screen to avoid overhead glare). Use a copy holder if frequently copy typing work on a PC. Make sure your screen viewing distance is 450 to 700mm. If symptoms persist contact your manager or health and safety representative. The Correct Ergonomic Positioning Workplace Health and Safety (New Zealand) mobile app allows you to replace your paper safety checklist with a handheld mobile device like a smartphone or tablet. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, facility, location, correct ergonomic positioning and captures employee's signature. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your OHS Safety records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
