Description:

People who set up their workspaces using ergonomic principles are more likely to feel comfortable, work efficiently, and avoid stress, pain, or tiredness. By arranging their environment to fit their needs, people with physical disabilities can prevent discomfort and health problems caused by bad posture, repetitive movements, or poorly designed workspaces.

This webinar will explain the main goals of ergonomics and share simple solutions that anyone can use to improve their work area. It will cover ways to adjust furniture, position equipment, and choose tools that support good posture, reduce strain, and increase productivity. The presentation will also highlight ways for people with disabilities to customize their workspaces so they can work more efficiently and comfortably. By learning these ideas, attendees will be able to create a healthier and more effective workspace.

Sarah Endicott
