For Immediate Release

Ann Arbor, Mich. - Humantech, Inc. has announced the fall schedule of its popular series of ergonomics seminars. Health and safety staff, engineers, facilities managers, and ergonomics committees can learn to maximize the benefits of an ergonomics process from Humantech's experienced, board certified ergonomists. The fall 2007 seminar schedule covers such topics as industrial ergonomics, office ergonomics, and integrating ergonomics with lean manufacturing. Seminars will be offered at Humantech's Ann Arbor corporate training center, and in Dallas, Texas, and Newport Beach, California.

According to Mike Wynn, Board Certified Professional Ergonomist and Vice President of Humantech, "Our simple, straightforward approach will arm participants with the knowledge and skills they need to make immediate ergonomic improvements within their own organizations." Participants will be able to apply tools and techniques to make an impact on their health and safety metrics through an effective ergonomics program.

Applied Industrial Ergonomics will be held in Ann Arbor, Dallas, and Newport Beach. This two-day seminar focuses on practical approaches to improving problem jobs, increasing productivity, and reducing injuries in an industrial environment. Attendees will learn to evaluate workstations and equipment, identify contributing factors to work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and prioritize ergonomic improvements to maximize return on investment.

Applied Office Ergonomics, a one-day seminar offered in Ann Arbor, Dallas, and Newport Beach, focuses on achieving a comfortable, healthy, and productive office environment. The goal of the course is to provide participants with the tools, knowledge, and resources to achieve dramatic improvements in office productivity and health and safety through ergonomics.

Applied Lean Ergonomics is a two-day seminar to be held in Ann Arbor. This new course provides the skills to leverage ergonomics principles in lean manufacturing activities to optimize workplace improvements.
