Ergonomics Team Training & Coaching

Build internal ergonomics capability through hands-on team training and coaching

Build internal ergonomics capability through hands-on team training that strengthens risk identification, analysis, and long-term injury prevention. Keep team momentum going with monthly coaching sessions to build competence and confidence.

Onsite or Virtual Offering

Our Ergonomics Team Training & Mentoring program is offered onsite at your facility or in a virtual format. This immersive, three-day workshop is designed to help your internal team:

  • Identify ergonomic risk factors and implement effective improvements
  • Evaluate jobs using screening and analysis tools
  • Reduce ergonomic risk and address workplace injuries
  • Improve productivity and operational efficiency
  • Strengthen return on investment through best-practice ergonomics

This program equips your team with practical skills they can immediately apply in your workplace.

About the Team Training (2+1) Workshop

This three-day industrial ergonomics workshop covers a comprehensive set of core topics, including:

  • Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
  • Identifying and prioritizing ergonomic stressors
  • Determining root causes of ergonomic risk
  • Applying analysis techniques to validate and prioritize issues
  • Developing appropriate engineering and administrative controls
  • Cost justifying and implementing ergonomic changes
  • Establishing ergonomic design criteria

The course blends interactive lectures with hands-on exercises, allowing participants to apply tools and techniques directly to real-world tasks.

Day 3: Hands-On Job Analysis & Mentoring

On the third day of the workshop, participants are divided into three or four smaller groups and perform hands-on ergonomic evaluations of predetermined jobs within the company’s facility.

During this session, participants:

  • Apply screening and analysis tools to real jobs
  • Practice identifying ergonomic stressors
  • Develop control recommendations
  • Receive direct feedback and mentoring from our ergonomists

This team-based, coached experience is critical for building competence and confidence.

Continued Team Coaching & Mentoring

One way to keep the momentum from training and ensure the team continues to build their skills and confidence is through monthly coaching sessions. Our ergonomists help teams plan and hold monthly meetings and coach them through identification, evaluation and control implementation processes. These sessions can be held virtually or on-site.  Ergonomics teams that follow-up with 3-6 months of coaching tend to stay on task and produce high results in risk reduction and control implementation.
