Practical Ergonomics
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide participants with the knowledge required to identify, assess and address basic ergonomic concerns. This is completed through use of examples and videotaped case studies. This course will also provide participants with the tools required to begin to implement an effective ergonomics program.
Highlights:
- Introduction to ergonomics (basic principles and risks)
- Methods of Identifying, Tracking and Classifying Ergonomic risks.
- Tools and Techniques (Basic Screening Checklist, Snook, NIOSH, RULA, REBA) used to assess ergonomic concerns.
- Methods for determining solutions/recommendations to decrease the identified ergonomic risks.
- Using Case Studies to apply principles and techniques.
- Successful ergonomic interventions
Length: Two days (16 hours)
Ergonomics by Design
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide the participants with the required knowledge to function effectively within the larger ergonomics process at your plant. The specific objectives of this course will be customized to provide your engineers with the tools needed to apply ergonomics principles to the design and re-design of workstations within your facility.
This course will also ensure that the participants understand the ergonomics guidelines utilized and recommended by the WSIB and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
Highlights:
- Introduction to ergonomics (basic principles and risks)
- Methods of Identifying, Tracking and Classifying Ergonomic risks.
- Tools and Techniques (Basic Screening Checklist, Snook, NIOSH, RULA, REBA) used to assess ergonomic concerns.
- Methods for determining solutions/recommendations to decrease the identified ergonomic risks.
- Using Case Studies to apply principles and techniques.
- Successful ergonomic interventions
Length: Two days (16 hours)
How to Complete a Physical Demands Analysis (PDA)
Course Description:
This course looks at what you need to do to complete a PDA. This includes, identifying what data you need, how you collect data, and reviews a number of different formats the data could be presented in. It does not cover any ergonomics tools and therefore is a nice compliment to our Ergonomics by Design, or Practical Ergonomics courses.
Highlights:
- What is a PDA?
- What information goes in a PDA and how you do collect it?
- What is a Risk Assessment and why is it important?
- How and when can you use your PDA's?
- Which PDA format best fits your needs?
- Complete case studies on sample jobs.
Length: One day (8 hours)
Introduction to Ergonomics
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide the employees at your facility with the required knowledge to identify, assess and address basic ergonomic concerns. This is completed through use of examples and videotaped case studies. This course will also provide participants with the tools required to begin to implement an effective ergonomics program. Additionally, this course will review how to set up job rotation schedules and reviews the WSIB legislation and steps required to safety and effectively return an injured worker back to the workplace.
Highlights:
- Introduction to ergonomics (basic principles and risks)
- Methods of Identifying, Tracking and Classifying Ergonomic risks.
- High level review of Tools and Techniques (Basic Screening Checklist, Snook, NIOSH, RULA, REBA) used to assess ergonomic concerns.
- Methods for determining solutions/recommendations to decrease the identified ergonomic risks.
- Using Case Studies to apply principles and techniques.
- Successful ergonomic interventions
- Job Rotation and Return to Work
Length: One day (8 hours)
Office Ergonomics
Course Description:
This course looks at Ergonomics within the office atmosphere. It addresses the specific ergonomic concepts that apply to office workers including a review of a self-assessment checklist to teach each employee how to set up their workstations based on recognized ergonomic guidelines. Additionally, it reviews recommendations on the proper workstation organization and equipment requirements.
This course can be completed with an added component which includes an in depth review and instructions on how to operate the on line Office Ergonomics tools "Office Ergo On-line".
Highlights:
- Musculoskeletal Basics, Injury mechanism and common RSI's
- Prevention of RSI's through proper workstation setup
- How to set up an ergonomically correct workstation (chair, monitor, keyboard, desk, work organization).
- Other Prevention strategies (i.e. work pacing, stretching, etc.)
- Using Case Studies to apply principles and techniques.
- Successful ergonomic interventions
Length: ½ day (4 hours)
