Learn To Perform Ergonomics Assessments In An Engaging, Live-Online Setting

***NOTE*** This workshop is part-one of a two-part certification program. Part two consists of a self-paced, four-hour online practicum that includes a multiple choice exam along with two practice assessments that must be submitted for review.

This highly engaging, interactive 2-day workshop is a broad-based, introductory-level instruction that teaches the foundations of basic OSHA-compliant ergonomics assessments. You will learn the skills you need to analyze multiple task jobs in the office, industrial/manufacturing, and healthcare environments using OSHA ergonomics survey tools – W-1, D-2 and WAC. With a combination of group work and individual practice you will come to understand best practices for implementation of cost-effective, high-impact solutions for the prevention of workplace injury. We will cover performing office and non-office ergonomics assessments with focus on identifying risk factors and determining solutions and opportunities for improvements.
