Ergonomics is the science of designing work tasks, tools, equipment, and workstations to fit the capabilities and limitations of workers. Understanding ergonomics in the workplace is crucial to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), which are injuries that affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the body.
You will be guided step-by-step through an investigation of ergonomic concepts by our knowledgeable educators, who will also show you how to evaluate and optimise workstations for various job requirements. You will learn about the importance of ergonomic furniture in reducing musculoskeletal diseases and repetitive strain injuries, as well as about good body posture, tool and equipment placement, and furniture layout.The session will discuss the significance of ergonomic work practises, such as frequent breaks, stretching exercises, and micro-movements to prevent fatigue and enhance general well-being, in addition to workstation layout.
