What you'll learn

Define Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) and Ergonomics
Identify the most common MSDs and the corresponding affected body parts
Recognize the risk factors that can cause MSDs
Recall work practices and controls that reduce or eliminate the possibility of injury
Recall the components of an ergonomic workstation

Description

Back injuries are the most common occupational injury in the workplace, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) cost employers billions of dollars each year in lost productivity, workers' compensation claims, and absenteeism. This course is designed for employees across all industries and job functions — from office workers to warehouse staff — who are exposed to ergonomic risk factors in their daily work environment.
The course provides a practical, accessible overview of ergonomic principles and musculoskeletal health, helping employees understand how everyday work activities and workstation setups can contribute to injury over time. Learners will explore the most common MSDs, the body parts most frequently affected, and the risk factors — including repetitive motion, awkward postures, and improper lifting techniques — that increase the likelihood of injury.
The course also covers proven prevention strategies and workplace controls that employees and supervisors can implement immediately to reduce ergonomic risk. A dedicated module on workstation ergonomics walks learners through how to properly arrange their desk, chair, monitor, and equipment to minimize strain and support long-term physical health.
Upon completion, employees will be equipped to recognize ergonomic hazards in their own work environment, apply proper lifting and movement techniques, and take proactive steps to prevent back injuries and other MSDs before they occur.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers

Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.

In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.

So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.

Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
