The effects of an office ergonomics workplace and training intervention on workers' knowledge and self-reported musculoskeletal discomfort and environmental satisfaction were investigated. An instructional systems design process was used to develop and evaluate an office ergonomics training program. It was hypothesized that the training and workplace intervention would allow the worker to more effectively use their workplace through increased office ergonomics knowledge and skills. Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in workers' office ergonomics knowledge and awareness. Self-reported work-related musculoskeletal disorders significantly decreased for the group who had a workplace change and received ergonomic training relative to a workplace change-only group and a no intervention control group. Environmental satisfaction increased for both the workplace change and training groups as compared to the control group.
