Why be certified in Office Ergonomics?

Being educated on ergonomic interventions in the office allows for an understanding on assessing primary risk factors such as: Posture, Repetition, and Static Force. This leads to knowledge on reducing the development of musculoskeletal diseases and providing potential resolutions for typical problems that may arise in the workplace.

What is Office Ergonomics?

Office ergonomics has become an increasingly more important factor in the work place. In recent years there has been a shift in the type of work being performed leading to greater injuries in the office.
