Unlike some other places, in an office “one size” does not fit all, and that can be a real “pain”…in the neck and other places! For one thing, the areas where we work and the things we work with…our desks, chairs, computers, and other “tools” that we use… typically are designed to try and work well for everybody.

But in truth, we are all different…so efficiency, comfort and safety in the office can often be hard to come by. However, it can be done…by applying good ergonomic principles.

This course on “Office Ergonomics” addresses how to recognize potential ergonomic problems, the potential for injuries if offices are not set up ergonomically, and practical solutions employees themselves can use to do that.

Topics covered include:

• Understanding ergonomic injuries
• Your ergonomic desktop
• Maintaining neutral positions
• Staying limber
• Going beyond traditional ergonomics and more
