Course Description

Office Ergonomics Essentials for Safer, More Comfortable Work is an online office ergonomics training course that helps workers set up safer, more comfortable workstations and reduce common office-related strain. This practical course covers workstation setup, neutral posture, chair adjustment, monitor height, keyboard and mouse placement, laptop ergonomics, lighting, glare, noise, temperature, shared workspaces, micro-breaks, movement habits, and early discomfort reporting.

Designed for office workers, remote employees, hybrid teams, supervisors, and employers, this office ergonomics course teaches practical steps that can help reduce neck pain, shoulder strain, back discomfort, wrist fatigue, eye strain, and productivity issues caused by poor workstation setup or static work habits. Learners complete self-checks and reflection activities to apply ergonomic principles directly to their own office, home, or shared workspace.

This course is ideal for workplaces looking to improve employee comfort, support injury prevention, strengthen health and safety training, and promote safer computer work practices.
