Learning Outcomes
Our Industrial Ergonomic Course is designed for professionals who are interested in implementing or expanding their knowledge in on-site injury prevention and total body (lower back and upper extremity) and industrial ergonomics. A significant portion of this class is hands-on testing using the NIOSH, OSHA, WISHA, RULA, REBA, ACGIH-TLVs, and other evaluation tools. The training course discusses evidence-based evaluations and consulting protocols based on current OSHA standards, NIOSH guidelines, and published clinical literature. Learning outcomes include:
- Select and describe current ergonomic evaluation tools and protocols
- Differentiate risk factors associated with upper extremity and low back ergonomic injuries
- Choose and apply internationally recognized upper extremity and low back ergonomic tools
- Prepare, identify, and select engineering, administrative, and work practice controls/ergonomic solutions
- Demonstrate the ability to use upper extremity and low back ergonomic assessment tools in multiple industrial and manufacturing environments
- Apply to become a Certified Industrial Ergonomic Evaluator by obtaining a CIEE Certification
