Have you had an experience or job where being aware of ergonomics has been helpful or required?
Yes I have a part time job before where you are taught the ergonomics of health and safety protocols to your job responsibilities so you don't get hurt or injured while performing your job adequately. We were given proper instructions of how to lift packages , bend and pick up things with care so you dont hurt your back. Just to be safe while doing your job and properly performing when loading and unloading packages.
