Seminar

Intensive
ergonomic training for employee involvement teams. (3-day
intensive.)
Why the seminar? The ergonomic performance of the industrial, commercial,
or white-collar workplace has become a critical aspect of reducing insurance
fees and Workman's Compensation costs and of improving the productivity
of your employees. As corporations expand their reach in the global economy,
retention and migration of employees in traditional manufacturing or white-collar
job positions is essential to corporate profits. This seminar provides
employee involvement teams (EIT) with a comprehensive background in fundamental
workplace ergonomics. The information can be used by EITs to improve overall
and detailed workplace ergonomic performance and safety. The seminar focuses
on three core topic areas: anatomy and biomechanics, workplace physiology,
and employee skill acquisition and training.
This
seminar builds a broad understanding of the importance and application
of workplace ergonomics in the industrial, commercial, and white-collar
work environments. The following is a description of what is covered in
this seminar.
Topic
1 (full day): Workplace anatomy and biomechanics. This session explores
the anatomical and biomechanical information surrounding seated and standing
tasks, ranging from work at computer terminals to heavy lifting. It focuses
on identifying physical ergonomic problems within the workplace and methods
for remedying the problems. The session gives special attention to the
use of task analysis tools and videotape analysis as a means of defining
and improving workplace ergonomics. The session ends with a discussion
of how to identify problems that require the assistance of outside experts
or your medical staff.
Topic
2 (full day): Workplace physiology: This session focuses on the physiological
implications of the workplace environment, including the effects of heat,
humidity, fatigue, and lighting. It deals with the complex issue of piece
rate production and how to identify the relationship between piece rate
and significant physiological and ergonomic problems in the workplace
Topic
3 (full day): Learning and skill acquisition in the workplace: This
session focuses on the definition and measurement of skill acquisition
in the workplace. It discusses how skill acquisition affects the worker's
ability to learn job functions and move to new jobs as is common in today's
setting. The session provides insights into why certain jobs are more
complex than others and how workers acquire skills according to different
patterns and profiles .
