Introduction

Document Holders

Using document holders can minimize eye, neck, and shoulder strain by positioning the document in a better viewing angle.

There are many types of document holders. Choosing the right type of holder depends on your workstation configuration as well as the type of work that you do. Select from designs on the basis of document size, weight, legibility of documents and reading distance.

When setting up a document holder, be sure to:

  • Placing the holder within viewing distance and inline with the screen
  • Ensure the holder is stable and free from vibration
