Course Description
This course focuses on proper sitting posture and safe lifting techniques to prevent workplace injuries and improve overall ergonomic health. Participants will explore the impact of poor body mechanics, identify risk factors for musculoskeletal strain, and implement strategies to maintain spinal alignment. The training emphasizes correct positioning, weight distribution, and movement patterns that reduce stress on the body during seated tasks and manual lifting. By applying these principles, individuals can enhance comfort, minimize fatigue, and decrease the likelihood of long-term injuries.
