The successful application of ergonomic principles lies in understanding the broad scope of ergonomics: specifically the importance of recognizing physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and organizational elements of work and the capabilities and limitations of workers.

In the Advanced Series , emphasis is on the details of analysis techniques, intervention effectiveness and applications within selected industries.

Participants will be reinforced on some of their assumptions and boldly challenged on some strongly held beliefs on how to prevent injuries. The end result will be confidence in applying ergonomics in a much more effective manner.

All classes are approximately one hour— within the convenience of your home or office.

Who Should Attend? Occupational health and safety professionals — EH & S managers, industrial hygienists, RNs; supervisors and managers; members of health and safety committees.
