Does OSHA have standards related to monitor positioning and monitor arms?

OSHA's computer workstation guidelines recommend (but don't mandate for most industries) that monitors be positioned at arm's length (20–26 inches from eyes), with the top of the monitor at or slightly below eye level. OSHA's ergonomics guidelines for VDT (video display terminal) workstations address monitor height and angle as factors in musculoskeletal disorder risk. While these are guidelines rather than mandated OSHA standards for general industry, employers have a general duty to provide a safe workplace — persistent ergonomic discomfort from poor monitor positioning is a legitimate workplace concern. Monitor arms help comply with best-practice ergonomic positioning guidance. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
