Ergonomics Training

Ergonomics Training Overview

Creating a healthy workplace starts with a focus on both ergonomics and wellness. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, resulting in lost time and reduced productivity for many employers.

This training program is designed to help organizations reduce the risk of MSDs by teaching employees how to improve their work environments and adopt healthier habits. By implementing proper ergonomic practices, employees can prevent strain, discomfort, and injury, which contributes to a more productive and healthier workforce.
