Explain the correct posture to be maintained while typing to prevent repetitive strain injuries and fatigue.
Answer: While typing, you should sit straight with your back supported by the chair and both feet flat on the floor. Keep your wrists straight and floating slightly above the keyboard, rather than resting heavily on the desk or keyboard edge. Position the monitor at eye level to avoid neck strain, and keep your elbows bent at a comfortable 90-degree angle.
Solution
Proper ergonomic posture involves sitting upright, keeping feet flat on the floor, maintaining a straight wrist position, and ensuring the screen is at eye level to prevent physical strain during prolonged data entry.
