Ergonomics Assessment Train the Trainer
The basic ergonomic training would include how to perform an assessment (level of risk, posture/force/repetition/rest, demands, MSD's, etc.). Depending on the individual workplace, it would include office and/or industrial training.
Office training would include how to properly sit, correct positioning of the body, positioning of the chair and other desk pieces, manual material handling, etc.
Industrial training would include correct positioning of the body, tool design, vibration, grip strength, etc. You will receive the tools required to create an assessment of your own.

An ergonomic assessment evaluates different kinds of stresses on the muscles, tendons and bones so that the risk of injury is reduced. An assessment also includes solutions and modifications on how a job can be performed to reduce stress and pain.
The ergonomic specialist carries out a workstation analysis and assessment at the office or home. The objective is to identify and negate any current problem area or future risk that can impact employee health and performance.
Repetitive Strain Injury is a diagnosis used for hand and arm pain that is caused by chronic and repeated performance of the same task leading to strain (e.g., working on a computer for long periods of time).
The time taken for an ergonomic assessment depends on the needs. It can range from thirty minutes to an hour. A report is produced after the assessment. This report includes observations about the workstation, the problems identified, modifications needed, and recommendations for improvement.
