The Computer Workstation Safety course provides workers with essential guidance on the safe and effective use of computers across various workplace settings. Computers are used in nearly every environment—from offices and warehouses to loading docks—and improper workstation setup or posture can lead to discomfort, strain, and long-term injuries. This training helps employees understand potential hazards and offers practical solutions to reduce the risks associated with daily computer use.

Learners explore key ergonomic principles, including organizing work materials, maintaining neutral body positions, supporting the back and torso, and adjusting equipment to encourage safe posture. The course also covers techniques to reduce eyestrain, relieve muscle tension, and incorporate simple exercises that minimize stress throughout the day. With clear visuals and structured content, the training presents information in a format that is easy to understand and retain.

Extended computer use can lead to repetitive strain injuries, eye fatigue, and musculoskeletal discomfort if proper ergonomics are not followed. Understanding how to set up a workstation, maintain neutral positions, and recognize early signs of strain helps employees work more safely and comfortably. This course equips learners with practical steps to create healthy, ergonomic work habits.
