Module 1: Introduction to Workplace Ergonomics
This module provides an overview of the importance of ergonomics in the workplace, the benefits of implementing effective ergonomics strategies, and the steps to take to prevent injuries and promote employee wellbeing. Topics covered include the definition of ergonomics, the history of ergonomics, and the role of ergonomics in preventing injuries and promoting employee wellbeing.
This specialized module focuses on the science of ergonomics and its application in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). You'll learn how to design workspaces that accommodate human capabilities and limitations.
Musculoskeletal disorders account for nearly 33% of all workplace injuries, with proper ergonomic interventions reducing these incidents by 50-90% according to OSHA data.
Key Topics Covered:
•
Definition of ergonomics
•
History of ergonomics
•
Role of ergonomics in preventing injuries and promoting employee wellbeing
Module 2: Ergonomics Hazards and Risk Assessment
This module covers the types of ergonomics hazards that can occur in the workplace, how to conduct a risk assessment to identify potential ergonomics hazards, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomics interventions. Topics covered include types of ergonomics hazards, risk assessment methods, and evaluation techniques.
This module provides you with practical frameworks and methodologies for conducting thorough risk assessments in various workplace settings. You'll learn evidence-based approaches to identify, evaluate, and prioritize potential hazards.
Effective risk assessment has been shown to reduce workplace injuries by up to 70% when implemented correctly, making this a critical skill for safety professionals.
Key Topics Covered:
•
Types of ergonomics hazards
•
Risk assessment methods
•
Evaluation techniques
