If you use a laptop in a fixed workstation at home and/or in your office, please refer to the links below for general laptop equipment, for appropriate hubs and connectors that enable you to use an external keyboard and mouse, and for fixed workstation equipment such as laptop stands and adjustable height work surfaces. Please refer to our "Laptop Tips" webpage to set up your workstation correctly, and read: Laptop Beefs and Laptop Props

If you use a laptop on the road and need portability, refer to the general laptop equipment link for connectors, and the link for portable workstation equipment for portable keyboards, laptop stands, and backpacks. You need to know how to carry lightweight compact equipment with you and set up your laptop quickly in a variety of different environments.

To use your laptop safely at a fixed workstation, you will need to elevate the laptop so the top of the screen is at your straight ahead vision and an external keyboard and mouse is at the correct typing height (see Prevention > Workstation > Workstation Design). You can choose to use either a docking station (if you do not want to disconnect the keyboard, mouse, ethernet and power cords every time you remove the laptop) or a laptop stand.

Please note that if you have a work surface that is the correct height for your external keyboard and mouse, the laptop can be set on anything available (e.g. a stack of books) to raise the top of the display to eye level, as long as the laptop is close enough to see when your head is aligned with your hips.
