Workplace Ergonomics Training

All First Aid, Health & Medicine
Ergonomics assessment of a workstation in progress

Overview

Musculoskeletal injuries rarely come from one event. They build up from postures, forces, repetition and duration, in lifting and handling tasks and equally in seated work, where a position held for hours is a load in its own right.

The programme teaches people to assess the whole task rather than a single piece of equipment, and to report discomfort early. A problem mentioned in the first weeks is usually fixed by an adjustment; the same problem raised months later may mean treatment and lost time.

What the programme covers

  • Musculoskeletal risk factors at work
  • Posture, repetition, force and duration
  • Workstation and task layout
  • Manual handling technique and load positioning
  • Display screen and seated work
  • Early reporting of discomfort
