Program Description
This session identifies the proper set-up of a workstation to accommodate both the characteristics of the staff member and the tasks they perform. There is also a component to enable staff to modify the lap-top or home-based computer environment to avoid injury in the long-term.
Important note: Participants are required to complete the online Office Safety training session and download and complete a brief workbook prior to the training session. The purpose is to provide some basic information to the participants, to identify current practices for discussion, and to shorten the time of the session.
