The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ergonomic intervention on the health complaints of office workers. Material and Method: In this interventional study, the health complaints of workers were determined via implementing surveys before and after the intervention. Moreover, ergonomic observations were made for the participants and the working environment. In the context of intervention, an overall ergonomic training was provided and risk factors at work were decreased.

As a result of this, the proportion of participants with at least one area of musculoskeletal complaints decreased from 81.2% to 62.5%, while the proportion of participants with any eye complaints decreased from 52.5% to 28.7%.
