SUMMARY:Industrial Ergonomics Process Workshop (IEPW) Virtual Offering
DESCRIPTION:This comprehensive workshop guides participants through each facet of the cyclic ergonomics process from basic ergonomics principles through control development and workstation design guidelines. This workshop meets the objectives of the OSHA #2255 Principles of Ergonomics course. \nPurpose: To introduce the participants to basic ergonomic principles and addresses topics such as: musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)\, identifying and prioritizing ergonomic stressors\, determining root causes\, analysis techniques\, developing appropriate control measures\, cost justification\, and design criteria. This workshop prepares the participants to work in a team environment to conduct ergonomics assessments for the control of risk factors that cause WMSDs. The course mixes lecture and laboratory to allow all participants to apply techniques. \nObjectives:  After attending this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe elements of the client’s ergonomics process and how individual employees can support it.\nDefine ergonomics and why it is important.\nDefine MSDs and give examples.\nList MSD symptoms and explain the importance of early reporting.\nIdentify risk factors that contribute to WMSDs.\nExplain the importance of working in neutral postures and how it affects fatigue.\nAppropriately prioritize jobs based upon risk factors present\, injury data\, and interviews with employees/supervisors.\nUse the Industrial Ergonomics Screening Tool to perform general ergonomic assessments.\nUse the Strain Index and RULA Assessment Tools to analyze jobs with ergonomic risk factors associated with the upper extremities.\nUse the NIOSH Lifting Guidelines and Manual Materials Handling Tables to analyze jobs with ergonomic risk factors associated with the low back.\nLearn to utilize the Center’s software tool (ErgoDATA) for ergonomics analysis.\nUse problem solving teams to develop appropriate intervention strategies for the reduction of WMSD risk factors.\nSupport the deployment of the site ergonomics process.\nLearn about workstation design criteria and hand tool design\n\nClasses are held from 9:00AM – 4:30PM Monday through Thursday. \nFee: \n\n$1800 or $1350 which includes a Professional Membership\n3.0 Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) awarded through NC State University\n4 Days\, 30 Instructional Hours – 30 MESH Hours (Manager of Environmental Safety and Health)
