Back discomfort, shoulder pain, numbness, stiffness, and other early warning signs can indicate that workplace activities are placing excessive stress on the body. Recognizing these risks early can help prevent minor discomfort from developing into more serious musculoskeletal disorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis course introduces workplace ergonomics and the Canadian occupational health and safety framework. Participants explore how federal, provincial, and territorial OHS requirements address worker protection and workplace hazards. The training examines three common ergonomic risk factors: forceful exertion, awkward postures, and repetitive movements. It also explains how repeated physical stress can contribute to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic lumbar strain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe course moves beyond hazard awareness to practical prevention strategies.

Employees learn how to lift within their body's power zone, keep loads close to the torso, avoid twisting while carrying materials, and use their legs rather than bending directly at the waist. These techniques can help reduce unnecessary strain during routine lifting and handling activities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe training also covers proactive ergonomic risk assessments, early symptom recognition, and workplace reporting practices.
