dc.description.abstractObjective: It has been known for many years that workplace environment of the individuals has a great impact on human health. 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. Results: As the conclusion of the ergonomic intervention, an improvement was determined in the working posture and in equipment usage. 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%. Conclusion: The results imply the intervention program is very useful and it is necessary to implement such programs for all of the risk groups by occupational safety and health units.en_US
