Ergonomics is the science of fitting jobs to the people who work in them. The goal of an ergonomics program is to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). MSDs are often developed by workers when a major part of their jobs involves reaching, bending over, lifting heavy objects, using continuous force, working with vibrating equipment and doing repetitive motions.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

- Recognize signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
- Apply proper techniques to reduce MSDs
- Report MSDs promptly
