Q: Is there a recommended way of typing or using my keyboard to prevent sore wrists?
A: Yes. Keep your wrists straight and use a soft wrist rest or keep your wrist from leaning or resting on a hard surface. Avoid bending wrist when using keyboard. The goal is to keep neutral posture, arms should be parallel, not resting on anything.
Also, consider frequent rest breaks and streches to prevent aches and pains.
Others tips for avoiding injury include
- maintain proper posture
- set up your workstation correctly
- pay attention to the position of your hands
- monitor your technique.
The BWC has ergonomists that can come to your facility or consult with you virtually to help you though issues like these or other workstation set up concerns. Please contact your safety council liaison to get you connected.
