Our world of work has changed dramatically over the past twenty years as we moved from paper-based work to technology-based work. During this time of transition, we observed record numbers of fellow workers suffering from workplace injuries call Muscoloskeletal Disorders (MSD’s). That is because there is a distinct difference in the way work is performed as paper-based work to technology based work. No one told us of the perils of daily office work until it was already too late for some. What you don’t know can hurt you! After nearly two decades and too many injuries of American office workers, we have finally reached a major shift with Workplace Injury rates now at the lowest ever recorded. This course will provide a refresher on understanding the human body and how it works – and what consequences can occur if we don’t fit the office to the worker to ensure health, safety , and comfort.
