WorkSmart Office Ergonomics Course
IMPACC USA announces our newest program, WorkSmart Office Ergonomics. Our unique approach to occupational health back injury
prevention and MSD injury prevention has been presented in thousands of workplaces across North America through a network of
physical and occupational therapy health care professionals. Since 1984, our focus has been research and development of back injury
prevention and MSD injury prevention solutions
for health, business and industry. IMPACC USA, publisher of the IMPACC Musculo-Skeletal Disorders (MSD) Injury Prevention Programs
produced these web based employee online courses for the prevention of back, upper extremity and office ergonomics MSD injuries.
These multimedia, interactive courses encourage employees to take an active role in preventing MSD injuries and improve their overall health and are written for employees at all levels of education.
