When working from home it’s very important to set up the work station so that it is ergonomically friendly and doesn’t place a strain on our body. Poorly set-up workspaces place stress on our joints, especially if working from a kitchen bench, dining chair, bed or couch.
This course trains step-by-step how to set up a desk, monitor, keyboard and mouse, chair and footrest to provide ergonomically friendly workspaces at home.
