Computer and Web-Based Training in Ergonomics

This company offers all levels of computer and web-based training support, from development of individual ergonomics modules to full training programs. When employees are well trained in ergonomics, businesses sometimes realize economic benefits in less lost time and fewer worker compensation claims. The key to computer and web-based training is that it can be done at any time, in any place. It also allows employees to learn interactively (exercises, scenarios, and case studies) at their own pace.

The company develops ergonomics and safety modules to meet specific client needs. These modules can be used separately or in groups to meet training requirements and accommodate different levels of knowledge. The duration of each module is 30 to 60 minutes. Modules can be provided on a wide variety of ergonomics and safety topics, including:

•Ergonomics Awareness
•Office Ergonomics
•Manufacturing Ergonomics
•OSHA's Proposed Standard
•Cumulative Trauma Disorders of the Upper Extremities
•Manual Materials Handling, Including Lifting
•Ergonomics Hazard Recognition and Prevention
•Ergonomics Principles in Workplace Design
