Ergonomics Team Training
This class introduces the group to basic ergonomic
principles and addresses topics such as: musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
and other ergonomic-related problems, identifying and prioritizing ergonomic
stressors, determining root causes, analysis techniques, developing appropriate
control measures, cost justification, and design criteria. The course is
designed to address issues within the company and mixes lecture and laboratory
to allow all participants to apply techniques. The course length is determined
by the goals of the team and can range from eight hours up to two days.
I can be available for specific intervals (e.g. weekly, monthly) to perform
the necessary tasks to keep your ergonomics team efforts moving forward.
Supervisor Training
This two-hour session introduces supervisors to the
basics of ergonomics including MSDs, controls, cost benefits, and other
topics. 
The goal is to provide the supervisor with a basic background in
ergonomics in order to facilitate communication between the ergonomics
team, health care provider, and employees.
Employee Awareness Training
Training the employee population involves
a one-hour training presentation geared to their specific work environment.
These presentations address fundamental ergonomics awareness, information
on MSDs, early reporting of discomfort, workstation and equipment design
and usage principles, work methods, ergonomic aspects of personal accommodation,
and whole life activities such as diet, clothing, wellness, and fitness.
