623-122 Ergonomics and Workplace Safety

The health and safety of employees within Industrial and Manufacturing facilities has been a major concern for industry across the country. How the physical tasks within a job duty are performed can impact the health of an employee. The setup of a manufacturing line, the process of material handling or the procedures to follow when working within a facility must be considered for safety and health. In Ergonomics and Workplace Safety you will identify factors that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), analyze and suggest improvements to job hazards on an employee's workstation, look at costs and benefits of ergonomic improvements and investigate accident reports for causes and problems related to work safety.
