Office Ergonomics Accreditation Program (OEAP)-Virtual Workshop
Many office environments lack a proactive ergonomics program and action plan for dealing with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina (Center) at North Carolina State University recognized the need for an effective method of ensuring that office workplaces are able to develop an ergonomics program to deal with current and potential MSDs in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. To best achieve this goal, the Center has developed the Office Ergonomics Accreditation Program (OEAP) to assist…
