What is Ergonomic Education?
Ergonomic education focuses on teaching individuals how to create and maintain a work environment that promotes comfort, efficiency, and safety. This involves understanding how to properly arrange and use workspaces, tools, and equipment to prevent injury and improve overall well-being.
