Implementations and
Recommendations
Create awareness in students about the importance of ergonomics and how it will benefit them in the long-run
Conduct workshops and seminars in college to illustrate the correct postures that should be adopted by students
Use brochures and flyers to display the perfect ergonomics through pictures for students
Management support to send emails to all students enlightening them about the seriousness of student ergonomics
We hope that our study contributes to the student body positively and helps
them in all possible aspects
