This series covers the basics of ergonomics.

ej4  

Believe it or not, you can sustain an injury on the job just from sitting at your desk. Workplace injuries aren't always the result of industrial accidents. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and muscle strains are among the most common causes of lost workdays. Much of this can be prevented with proper posture, proper hand alignment with the keyboard, and proper chair height, also known as "ergonomics." Employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment, and workplace ergonomics is a part of that. This course provides helpful information and guidelines to make your workplace more ergonomic.

Office workers spend thousands of hours at their desks every year. All these hours sitting in an office or cubicle can really take a toll on your body. Your desk, and the way it's set up, is an important part of having a comfortable and safe work environment. Office desks come in all shapes and sizes. Because of that, there's no "one size fits all" approach to setting up a perfectly ergonomic workspace. In this program, we'll give some general guidelines to setting up a comfortable workspace.

Sitting at your desk for hours a day can cause sore, stiff muscles. Research shows that stretching at work can reduce pain by up to 72%. We're not talking about a full-body yoga session in your conference room, but rather some very quick, simple stretches you can do sitting or standing at your desk. The exercises we'll go over in this course will help loosen you up and get rid of some of the tension you get from sitting for prolonged periods of time.

If you’ve ever watched a medical show on television, then you’ve likely seen a defibrillator in action. A defibrillator is used to shock a person’s irregular heart rhythm back into normal rhythm. An Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, is a miniature version of that. AEDs are placed strategically in public places like schools, gyms, restaurants, and offices, in case of emergencies. An AED device will measure someone’s heart rate and rhythm on its own to determine if a shock is needed. In this program, we’ll go over when and how to use an AED. We’ll discuss what to do if someone becomes unconscious, including checking for breathing and performing CPR. We’ll go over who you can use an AED on and the steps to using one properly.
