Smart Workplaces: Designing Safe Workspaces & Preventing Injury

Common workplace health and safety issues can take a toll on staff and the company budget, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Many of the problems workers encounter on the job are preventable if steps are taken to avoid injuries before they happen. This online course explores methods used to design safe workspaces and examines work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), which are a leading cause of injury in the workplace. You’ll also learn specific ergonomically correct techniques for heavy lifting, setting up a computer station and more.
