Many home office workers report work-related musculoskeletal disorders-or MSDs-every year. For some, the problem becomes so severe that they suffer a lot of pain and have to take time off from work for treatment and recovery. But the good news is that you don’t have to be one of those who develop MSDs on the job. By understanding basic ergonomic principles and applying them to your job, you can minimize MSD risk factors, avoid stresses and strains on your body, and keep healthy and safe as you work.
The main objective of this course is to cover the topic of home office ergonomics from hazards to precautions so that you can avoid developing work-related MSDs. We will also discuss other tips for general wellness while working from home.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, work-related musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs, are among the most frequently reported causes of lost or restricted work time. Workers in many different industries and occupations can be exposed to MSD risk factors on the job. Fortunately, work-related MSDs can be prevented. By understanding basic ergonomic principles and applying them to your job, you can minimize MSD risk factors, avoid strains on your body, and reduce your risk of injury. This session is designed to assist all workers in healthcare settings, including care providers, support personnel, and administrative staff, in preventing MSDs.
Have you ever come home from work with a sore back, stiff neck, pain in your shoulders, pain or stiffness in your wrist or hands, or aching feet from standing for long periods? Most of us have experienced these aches and pains and may think little of them. However, if allowed to continue, these minor conditions can become severe, leading to chronic pain, lost work time, and even debilitation.
We need to take the aches and pains that occur at work seriously and start doing all we can to prevent them. That’s what this training session on Ergonomics for the Laboratory is all about.
This course provides information for employees in California about how to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). MSDs are among the most frequently reported causes of lost work time. As a worker who is at high risk of developing MSDs — repetitive motion injuries (RMIs) in particular — you need to understand basic ergonomics to minimize risk factors, avoid strains on your body, and reduce your risk of injury at work.
In compliance with California regulations, this training is modified by your employer to provide site-specific details, including information about the company’s ergonomics program.

Según la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA), los trastornos musculoesqueléticos laborales (TME) se encuentran entre las causas más frecuentes de pérdida o restricción del tiempo de trabajo. Los trabajadores de diversas industrias y ocupaciones pueden estar expuestos a factores de riesgo de TME en el trabajo. Afortunadamente, los TME relacionados con el trabajo se pueden prevenir. Al comprender los principios básicos de la ergonomía y aplicarlos en su trabajo, puede minimizar los factores de riesgo de TME, evitar tensiones corporales y reducir el riesgo de lesiones.
