Ergonomic and Manual Handling Training – Safety Training
What Does Ergonomic and Manual Handling Training about ?
Ergonomics involves tailoring the work environment to suit the worker, aiming to prevent or minimize work-related musculoskeletal injuries, which are a prevalent cause of workers’ compensation claims. Jobs involving significant manual load handling and poor posture, such as bending the back or neck, often lead to such injuries. Addressing these issues can lower compensation costs and promote employee well-being.
The Ergonomic & Manual Handling Program is designed to impart essential knowledge of ergonomics in the workplace, with a focus on injury prevention and safe practices. It also emphasizes conditioning the core body and active muscles of workers engaged in manual handling tasks or working in unfavorable postures.
Moreover, this program includes screening for musculoskeletal issues among employees, recommending suitable ergonomic adjustments, and providing exercises aimed at reducing injuries and improving work performance and quality.
