AROUND
HOME & IN THE OFFICE
| |
In
the Office/Home Office
-
Use a
speaker phone or headset for hands-free use.
Do not rest the phone between your ear and shoulder.
-
Have the
fluorescent lights above your work area disconnected.
Use incandescent table-top lamps instead. In fact, if
you have fluorescent lights in your kitchen, bathroom or
other rooms in your house, you may want to consider
switching them out.
-
Ask your
employer for a LCD flat screen monitor, which do not flicker
like the traditional CRT monitors. If you cannot
get a LCD monitor, try a screen filter, which are available
in most office supply stores.
-
Make
sure your monitor is at the proper height. The middle
of the screen should be at eye level when you're sitting up
straight. You don't want to slouch in your chair or
have to look down to view the screen. There are many
types of lifts available at most office supply
stores to raise up your monitor.

In
the Kitchen:
- Make
cooking a family affair. Let the family help
wisk, stir, chop etc. Have others do preliminary
clean up by putting things in the dishwasher or washing dishes
used to prepare food as you go. If you can't
get help during dinner preparation, have your family clean up
after dinner.
- Prepare
vegetables, etc. while sitting down at a table, for
example.
- Use the dishwasher
and if you don't have one, let the dishes air dry, then put
them away.

Other
Tips for Around the Home and/or Office:
- Have rails
put along side of all stairs and if necessary, in the
shower/tub.
- Pay
bills via telephone or on-line banking.
- Do not
stand on stepstools, chairs, ladders, etc. and have someone
else clean all high areas.
