Ergonomics & setting up your workstation properly

Ergonomic injuries can be debilitating, and are more common than you might think. Ergonomic Principles is a new online module available in myDevelopment to help you set up your office workstation correctly, to help prevent strain in the back, neck and shoulders. 

Ergonomic Principles is an interactive resource to help you review your current workstation set-up and work practices, and make changes as required.
