Ergonomics Resources: Work should not hurt.

Our most recent webinar focused on Ergonomics and practical strategies to reduce or eliminate pain that can be brought on by work, particularly musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs.  We came away from the webinar with a lot of great resources that can help you improve your workstations/work environments in order to reduce or eliminate pain. If you have a coworker who is a pain, we cannot help with that one. Sorry. But be sure to check out the rest of these resources, including the webinar recording, in case you missed it!

Take some time to make sure your workspace is working with you, not against you! A few simple adjustments can be the difference between living with pain or being pain-free!
