Course Overview

Do you work in an office setting? It might seem like a pretty safe place to work, but you are actually at risk for several injuries and exposed to several hazards – some of which you might never expect. Among these are back injuries. Injuries to your back might happen quickly, or the effects of poor work practices and workspace ergonomics might take their toll over time. Regardless, pain and injuries are preventable through hazard- and employee self-awareness, properly designed and maintained office work environments, and an overall understanding of the various sources of back strain. The effects of accumulated back trauma can cause loss of work, decreased efficiency and overall safety, mood changes, and even early career resignation.

Topics Covered:

  • identify (and avoid) common hazards that contribute to back strain
  • better design your office workspace and better interact with your work environment (ergonomics)
  • and also how to catch early signs and symptoms of back injury.
