Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
This course is designed for individuals working in office or administrative environments and those responsible for supporting worker well being.
Workers who spend extended periods seated or performing computer based and repetitive tasks.
Supervisors who oversee office staff and are responsible for monitoring workstation setup and addressing ergonomic concerns.
JHSC members involved in identifying ergonomic hazards and supporting workplace improvements.
Representatives responsible for addressing MSD risks and supporting ergonomic initiatives in smaller workplaces.

Addressing early signs of discomfort helps prevent minor ergonomic issues from developing into long term musculoskeletal injuries.
Addressing early signs of discomfort helps prevent minor ergonomic issues from developing into long term musculoskeletal injuries.
Ergonomic hazards are considered part of general hazard identification and are reviewed during Ministry of Labour inspections.
During inspections or compliance reviews, inspectors may assess whether employers have identified ergonomic risks and taken reasonable steps to reduce strain associated with office work.
Inspectors routinely assess:
Identification of tasks with ergonomic risk factors
Workstation setup and adjustment practices
Worker awareness and training related to ergonomics
Supervisor involvement in addressing ergonomic concerns
This course helps workplaces understand how office ergonomics are viewed from a compliance perspective and how proactive adjustments support due diligence.
Secure Your Future.
This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming completion of Office Ergonomics Training.
While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers and supervisors have received formal instruction related to ergonomic risk reduction.
Training records support employer documentation and may be reviewed during inspections or safety program evaluations.
Poor ergonomics can lead to discomfort, reduced productivity, and long term musculoskeletal injuries.
Providing Office Ergonomics Training helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by proactively addressing ergonomic risks before injuries develop.
After completing this course, participants have a clearer understanding of how office work affects the body over time.
