This new course is labeled "Workshop" for a reason. We take you beyond the identification and assessment of ergonomic risk, and head into "designing out" the risk in the first place Through group activities and a unique simulation exercise, you'll learn specific design guidelines for workstations, tools, controls and displays, and manual material handling; how to apply ergonomics criteria to equipment design using the design review process; and how to evaluate proposed and existing equipment for good ergonomic design. You'll have the opportunity to bring your own video for a hands-on case study. The workshop includes The Handbook of Ergonomic Design Guidelines, a $385 value, and is offered in conjunction with the Applied Industrial Ergonomics in Ann Arbor. |
Attendees Will Learn To:
- Identify factors contributing to workplace musculoskeletal disorders
