Ergonomics Safety Training
The Ergonomics Safety Training course is designed to empower employers and employees to build safer, healthier, and more productive work environments.
This course follows OSHA and NIOSH ergonomics guidelines, as well as OSHA’s General Duty Clause, which requires employers to provide workplaces free from recognized hazards.
Through evidence-based ergonomic strategies, this training helps reduce Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) and other ergonomic-related injuries that commonly occur in office, industrial, and field operations.
Participants will learn how to evaluate physical demands, recognize early signs of discomfort, implement proper workstation setup, and apply ergonomic controls to reduce strain and injury risks.
This training emphasizes proactive prevention strategies such as hazard identification, early intervention, and workplace design improvements to support long-term employee well-being.
