Office Ergonomics Training Bendigo
Office ergonomics training sessions are designed to provide attendees with the knowledge they need to optimise the ergonomics of their own workstation, as well as prevent ergonomic-related workplace injuries from developing.
​
Office ergonomics training can be delivered together with, or instead of, an Office Ergonomic Assessment Sweep.
If you have a large number of employees, an office ergonomics workshop is a more cost-effective method to provide your employees with ergonomics education. Office ergonomics training is also a suitable option if you would like to up-skill key members of your HR and WHS team to perform proactive ergonomic assessments within your organisation.
Topics covered in Office Ergonomics Training Bendigo
​
-
Injury prevention principles, teaching your employees how injuries develop in desk-bound office workers, so that they are able to recognise when physical symptoms are developing and prevent little niggles from progressing into injuries.
-
Setting up a seated workstation ergonomically.
-
Setting up a standing workstation ergonomically.
-
Using sit-stand desks (only covered if you have sit-stand desks).
