Ergonomics

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a leading cause of workplace injuries, lost-time claims, and reduced productivity across industries, making it critical for occupational safety professionals to apply workplace ergonomics in their practice. Learners develop the ability to recognize ergonomic risk factors, conduct basic ergonomic assessments, and recommend practical interventions to reduce musculoskeletal injuries. Emphasis is placed on real-world workplace scenarios, injury prevention strategies, and compliance with Canadian OHS standards.
