In this program we'll learn successful methods to set-up your workstation and the tips to perform safely at your workstation. We will learn the importance of good ergonomic practice. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly two-thirds of all occupational illnesses reported, were caused by exposure to repeated trauma to a worker's upper body (the wrist, elbow, or shoulder).
