| Description |
Ergonomic analysis of jobs is an essential part of a comprehensive program for controlling work-related musculoskeletal disorders such as low back pain and upper extremity repetitive trauma. This program uses lectures and demonstrations to develop practical job analysis skills. Students participate in analyses and discussion of videotaped jobs selected from a variety of industries and occupations. Case studies and discussions emphasize the identification and evaluation of ergonomic stresses and the development of alternative solutions to workplace problems. This course is intended for individuals who already have a basic knowledge of occupational ergonomics. |
| Program Objectives |
Attendees will learn structured methods of job documentation and job analysis in order to systematically identify ergonomic stresses that cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders and impede job performance. |
