Help Workers to Help Themselves

Ergonomics Awareness Training for Front Line Staff

Nobody understands their job better than the person doing it. When asked about issues with their job, workers can often provide detailed descriptions of problems, and well-thought out solutions. If given additional knowledge and skills, they can often nip potential problems in the bud.

Generally, this means providing workers with a basic understanding of ergonomic principles that they can apply as part of their daily work routine. This includes avoiding awkward postures and repetitive forceful exertions. It also may include instruction and practice on safe lifting practices and basic stretching routines.

This month we will share some of our practices for delivering engaging and practical training for your front line staff to take care of their bodies when on the job.
