Repetitive tasks often result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which cause different injuries resulting in lost work time. Teaching employees what the symptoms of MSDs are, how they can minimize the risk of an MSD on the job, and why it is important to comply with the safety measures your company has put in place is the goal of this interactive online training.
Ergonomics can be complicated, but our training provides a simple explanation all employees can understand. Ergonomic controls are used in almost all workplaces to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), also called cumulative trauma disorders or repetitive stress injuries. Workers often ignore the signs and symptoms of these disorders until a chronic condition has developed and they often don’t know the measures they can take to prevent them.
Purpose of this training course is to explain what ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders are and the measures your organization takes to control ergonomic risk factors. More importantly, the program reviews work control practices that workers can follow to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses. It also features both office and industrial settings to illustrate important lessons about ergonomics.
