The safe reach zone is the area of your desk that is easily accessible without straining the body. Take the time to organize your desk for better comfort and efficiency.

Your work environment dictates how you use your body.  Take the time to modify your work environment to better suit your needs and your body will follow.  Keep every thing you need frequently as close to you as possible to avoid over reaching and twisting.
