Onsite ergonomics training helps you and your team gain the skills required to execute a sustainable ergonomics process. Read this article to learn the benefits of onsite ergonomics training workshops and how you can get started.

A combination of online ergonomics training and real-world practice guided by experts is the fastest path for your ergonomics team to gain the knowledge and skills required to execute a functioning ergonomics process.

The online training gives your team a baseline of ergonomics knowledge and the onsite workshops give your team an increased skillset they can use to meet their roles and responsibilities.

Gain skills by working alongside an expert

The most efficient way to gain true skill in ergonomics is to do actual work in the real world with an expert by your side. Being guided by an expert significantly reduces the learning curve as you will inevitably run into roadblocks, edge cases, and all of the ambiguous situations that training programs can’t possibly cover.

Onsite ergonomics training workshops

The onsite workshops focus on the most important functions and practical skills of ergonomics. At a minimum, your team needs to be able to assess risk, plan improvements, measure progress, and scale successful solutions.

Each workshop consists of a review of the online training where the expert can answer any questions the group has, then moves out to the shop floor where a practical, hands-on demonstration takes place. Not only does your team gain skills through practical application, but the added value is that you’re getting work done!

Assessing Risk

Workshop attendees will learn how to complete ergonomic risk assessments using a variety of tools. They gain confidence in knowing when to use each tools and how to complete the assessments quickly and accurately.

Planning Improvements

Workshop attendees will learn how to take risk assessment data in order to identify improvement opportunities and then plan improvement projects to lower risk to an acceptable threshold. Prioritization and cost-justification training ensures your team knows how to find low-cost, high-impact opportunities.

Measuring Progress

Workshop attendees will learn how to verify risk reduction through post-improvement assessment and how to interpret the data and metrics they are getting back from the ergonomics software system.

Scaling Solutions

Workshop attendees will learn how to share successful ergonomics solutions with other team members at their site and also other team members throughout your organization so that ergonomics successes can be scaled.
