Ergonomics - We use our muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to lift, carry, sit, stand, walk, move and work in a variety of ways. We often put too much demand on our bodies, causing pain and discomfort. This could also lead to a more serious injury called a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD).
Use these Ergonomics Tools to ensure you don't put too much demand on your body at work:

As well, statistics have shown that a positive work environment results in reduced rates of absenteeism, stress levels, injuries and illnesses, while showing increased rates of morale and job satisfaction.
