Course overview
Office workers spend thousands of hours at their desks every year. All these hours sitting in an office or cubicle can really take a toll on your body. Your desk, and the way it's set up, is an important part of having a comfortable and safe work environment. Office desks come in all shapes and sizes. Because of that, there's no “one size fits all” approach to setting up a perfectly ergonomic workspace. In this program, we'll give some general guidelines to setting up a comfortable workspace.
