Description
Our training will teach you how to perform an OSHA-compliant ergonomics analysis applicable in the industrial, healthcare, and office workplace. In our basic occupational ergonomics workshop, you will learn to identify potential hazards that contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Using best practices, our method instructs implementation of cost-effective, high-impact solutions for prevention of workplace injury. By developing effective tools to market your ergonomics services, you can become a strategic partner with current and prospective internal and external customers in delivering practical solutions for risk reduction and increased employee productivity.
At the completion of this workshop, you will have earned your designation as a Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (CEASTM) and receive 1.5 CEUs (in most states).
Those seeking additional in-depth ergonomics evaluation tools and their CEAS IITM designation, are encouraged to enroll in the CEAS II: Aging Workforce Ergonomics Solutions Certification Workshop.
