Strains and sprains are the leading cause of workplace injuries and illnesses. Many of these injuries are part of a class of injuries known as “musculoskeletal disorders” or “MSDs.” This term is used in scientific literature to refer collectively to a group of injuries and illnesses that affect the musculoskeletal system; there is no single diagnosis for MSDs. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) defines an MSD as an injury or disorder of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, or spinal disks. They do not include disorders caused by slips, trips, falls, motor vehicle accidents, or similar accidents. Injuries and illnesses that result from repetitive motions are prevented or controlled through ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science of fitting working conditions to the people who have to do the work through the design of equipment and safety procedures.

This training program provides  all the relevant information on Ergonomics and the Computer Workstation.

When the training is completed, trainees will be able to:

  • Define ergonomics and MSDs.
  • Identify MSD risk factors.
  • Recognize MSD symptoms.
  • Set up the workstation to minimize stress and strain.
  • Perform tasks safely and avoid musculoskeletal injuries and illness.
