Office Ergonomics

When working in an office, one size does not fit all, especially when it comes to office equipment and tools. This Office Ergonomics training program reminds employees of the injuries that can occur when proper ergonomic practices are ignored. Viewers learn what ergonomic injuries are and how to prevent them.

Repetitive movements and awkward body positions can lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel, tendinitis, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This course discusses ways to set up your desk space correctly to avoid these conditions. The course demonstrates how working in a neutral position is feasible if you have the correct chair. Tips are provided for staying loose, limbering up, and stretching. While ergonomics is important, physical, and mental health are also critical to healthy living. This course reviews how to combat stress by using relaxation exercises and promotes an overall healthy lifestyle as the key to preventing stress and injury.

Moving more, taking care of oneself, and maintaining an ergonomic work setup helps prevent injuries and stress. Use this online course to help promote a more comfortable, efficient, and injury-free work environment.
