Ergonomic training involves educating individuals on how to properly set up their work environments and perform daily tasks to prevent injury, strain, and musculoskeletal disorders. This type of training is particularly useful for individuals who spend long hours working at desks, using computers, or performing repetitive tasks.
The training includes guidance on proper posture, workstation setup, correct lifting techniques, and taking regular breaks to reduce physical strain. Ergonomics focuses on optimizing the physical environment to promote better alignment and minimize stress on the body.
Ergonomic training helps prevent injuries such as repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), neck or back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome, improving both comfort and productivity.
