Introduction to Ergonomics for the Office-2024
AMTA's Introduction to Ergonomics for the Office-2024 course presents insights on the identification of ergonomic risks and implementation of practical strategies to mitigate repetitive strain injuries resulting from extended desk work. Improve your health and work efficiency by understanding how to optimize your workstation setup and manage your posture.

This prolonged sitting and repeated motion can have a negative impact on our bodies, triggering problems such as lumbar discomfort, neck tension, and wrist soreness.

We will explore the fundamentals of ergonomics and the importance of a comfortable, health-promoting workspace—regardless if you’re in the office or working remotely.
