The Ergonomics Safety Training course is designed to empower employers and employees to create a safer and healthier work environment by following the guidelines provided by OSHA and NIOSH for creating injury-free workplaces using ergonomic solutions. The course is also developed in accordance with OSHA's General Duty Clause. This sets forth accepted practices for ergonomics safety training to support a significant reduction of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) and other workplace ergonomics risks.

This training explores the fundamentals of ergonomics and supports understanding the science of designing tasks and surroundings to fit the human body. The course explains key ergonomics principles and will emphasize proactive strategies for preventing MSDs through early intervention, safe work design principles, and prioritizing overall employee well-being.

Who Can Benefit from Ergonomics Safety Training?

This training course is valuable for all employees in the workplace as ergonomic risks are prevalent across all industries and jobs. Facility managers, safety professionals, engineers, maintenance staff, HR personnel, and ergonomics specialists, will gain greater insight and learn essential skills for creating ergonomic-friendly programs and environments to enhance workplace safety and productivity.

Our course focuses on equipping you with vital knowledge to create a thriving work environment. Ergonomics focuses on designing tasks and surroundings to fit the human body, just like a perfectly designed machine. By optimizing workstations and work practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of work-related MSDs – a leading cause of workplace injuries and a drain on productivity.

The primary objective of the Ergonomics Safety Training course is to empower learners to create a safer and healthier work environment. By providing you with the knowledge to identify ergonomic risk factors, understand the impact of MSDs, and implement preventative solutions, this program fosters a culture of continuous improvement. You will gain the skills to prioritize effective solutions and collaborate with managers and employees to a design workplace that promotes well-being and optimizes productivity.

Course Objectives – Ergonomics Safety Training

After completing the course, the learner will be able to:
  • Define ergonomics and recognize its significance in workplace safety.
  • Identify common types and causes of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
  • Understand work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).
  • Explore OSHA's perspective on ergonomic hazards and regulations.
  • Implement proactive strategies to prevent ergonomic issues.
  • Analyze the health effects of ergonomic risk factors.
  • Recognize the role of ergonomics programs in continuous improvement.
  • Develop and implement an effective ergonomics program.
  • Apply the hierarchy of controls to mitigate ergonomic hazards.

Lessons

Ergonomics Safety Training: Introduction

Lesson 1: Ergonomics - An Overview


In this lesson, we'll establish a foundation for ergonomics. We'll explore why employee safety and health are paramount, and introduce ergonomics as the science dedicated to optimizing work environments for human well-being. This translates to a significant reduction in workplace injuries, particularly MSDs. You'll also gain insights into OSHA’s views and guidelines on Ergonomics.

Lesson 2: Ergonomic Risk Factors


In this lesson, we'll shift gears toward proactive prevention. We'll delve into the importance of identifying and addressing potential ergonomic issues early on. This proactive approach is key to preventing discomfort and injuries before they escalate into bigger problems. Strategies like early intervention, safe work design principles, and how prioritizing worker well-being extends beyond the confines of the workplace clock will all be explored.

Lesson 3: Ergonomics Programs


In this lesson, we'll explore the world of ergonomics programs and their significance. We'll delve into the guiding principles behind this process and the steps to follow to effectively develop and implement an ergonomics program, equipping you with practical strategies to cultivate an optimal work environment. This translates to building a sustainable culture of safety and well-being within your organization.

Lesson 4: Hazard Controls


Through this lesson, we'll delve into the importance of ergonomic solutions in minimizing workplace injuries and discomfort. We'll empower organizations to prioritize safety effectively by understanding the hierarchy of controls, which includes engineering solutions, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Through these key strategies, we'll equip you to implement effective ergonomic solutions to eliminate or reduce ergonomic risk factors.
