This Workstation Setup Training course covers the misunderstood basics of assessing a workstation. Though it seems trivial on the surface, it is highly overlooked and could cause long term health problems and even injuries from not using the right equipment and not rectifying an incorrect posture.
Turn on a computer, pull out a chair, sit down and start to work. Repeat this daily, and like many others, repeat this yearly. The Workstation Setup Training will highlight having bad posture or using equipment incorrectly over a period of years can cause long-term health hazards, which could result in eye strain, back and neck ache or, in severe cases, MSDs - Musculoskeletal Disorders.
Setting up your workstation correctly can have lots of benefits, including increased motivation and concentration. It is also important to take appropriate regular breaks to ensure that you are stretching your muscles and exercising your eyes. The online Workstation Setup Training course explores the ergonomics involved for a thorough assessment.
