Hosted by UMB Environmental Health and Safety, Lab Ergonomics 101 is designed to introduce laboratory professionals to the core principles of ergonomics and their impact on daily lab work. This session explores common ergonomic challenges found in research and clinical environments, such as repetitive pipetting, prolonged microscope use, awkward postures at biosafety cabinets, and manual material handling, and offers tips that can reduce strain and injury risk.
Attendees will learn how to recognize ergonomic risk factors, set up workstations more effectively, and incorporate healthier movement habits into routine tasks. The seminar provides clear, actionable guidance that participants can apply immediately to improve comfort, productivity, and overall well being in the lab.
