Ergonomic Training Courses
Reduce pain, injury and insurance claims while improving staff morale and productivity with workstation ergonomic training and assessments by our industry-leading health professionals
1. Ergonomic Workstation Desk Setup Training Course
One of the unseen sources that cost businesses time and money every year is poor workstation ergonomics which can be improved with workstation ergonomic assessment and training. An uncomfortable employee cannot focus and engage with their work to the degree that they would like to when their mind is on the pain in their lower back, or strain on their wrists.
