What is the proper position for sitting at a computer workstation?

Adjust the chair height so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are in line (or slightly lower) with your hips. Sit up straight and keep your hips far back in the chair. The back of the chair should be somewhat reclined at a 100- to 110-degree angle. Ensure the keyboard is close and directly in front of you.

How can a well designed workstation suit the ergonomic requirements of a user?

Adjust the height of your chair so that your feet rest comfortably on the floor. If this makes your chair too low in relation to the desk, use a footrest and raise the chair up to the desired height. Correctly adjusting your chair can help you maintain proper posture and take the pressure off your back.

Which areas in your office environment are key to an ergonomically viable set up?

Most work surfaces are a standard 28" to 30", which is a good sitting height for most people between 5'8" and 5'10" tall who use conventional task chair. If you are taller or shorter, be prepared to change your work surface height.
