WorkSafeNB Temporary Working From Home Guide
WorkSafeNB provided a rudimentary video as a guide for those who find themselves working from home due to Covid-19. This video should not be used as a general office ergonomics guide as it only touches on some quick and easy temporary solutions to minimize discomfort while working at home.

If a person has the appropriate academic background to be an ergonomist, they can apply to be recognized as an Associate Ergonomist (AE). After achieving a set amount of relevant professional experience, they can apply to upgrade their designation to a Canadian Certified Professional Ergonomist (CCPE). These designations help ensure that all those wishing to practice as ergonomists have the academic and practical experience to competently serve the public.
