Workplace Ergonomics Assessment
Your physical well-being is very important. Poor workstation setup is a leading cause of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), leading to increased absenteeism, insurance claims, and decreased workplace morale. Our Ergonomics course provides comprehensive training to empower employees to identify ergonomic hazards, adjust their work environments, and implement best practices to prevent long-term strain and injury.
Course Structure and Exam Details
This course consists of 6 chapters and a final exam. Students must achieve 80% to pass the final exam and will receive their results immediately after submitting it. Ergonomics training will help you recognize MSD risk factors, optimize workstations, and learn stretching and ergonomic movements to reduce physical fatigue. Training may be paused or resumed at any time, is fully narrated, and includes interactive exercises to ensure understanding of course content.
Upon completion of the course, students will be issued a printable certificate as proof of training (wallet & wall-sized). A plastic wallet certificate is also included. This card typically ships within one day using Canada Post regular mail.

Course Outline
-
1. Ergonomics in the Workplace
Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace to fit the worker, focusing on maximizing productivity while reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). By recognizing the link between workplace hazards and MSDs, organizations can implement proactive strategies to protect their workforce.
-
2. Job Demands, Types of MSDs, and Early Signs and Symptoms
MSDs are injuries affecting muscles, nerves, and tendons, often caused by a combination of high job demands and repetitive workplace factors. Understanding the specific causes of these disorders is essential for early detection and preventing long-term physical damage.
-
3. Ergonomics Assessment and Control
The ergonomic assessment process is a systematic approach used to identify risk factors and evaluate their potential impact on employee health. Once risks are identified, common controls are implemented in accordance with the hierarchy of controls to ensure maximum effectiveness.
-
4. Ergonomic Principles
Adhering to ergonomic principles involves maintaining neutral postures to reduce strain during manual tasks. By minimizing awkward postures, excessive force, and static loads, workers can significantly decrease fatigue and prevent injury. A well-designed environment that prioritizes adequate clearance and regular movement fosters both physical comfort and long-term health.
-
5. The Benefits of Workplace Ergonomics
Implementing ergonomic standards directly reduces the frequency and severity of musculoskeletal injuries, thereby leading to a healthier, more resilient workforce. Beyond safety, an ergonomic approach boosts overall productivity and work quality by removing physical barriers that distract or cause discomfort to workers.
-
6. MSD Prevention and Workplace Programs
Effective MSD prevention requires a structured ergonomics program that defines the specific roles of employers, supervisors, and workers. These programs differentiate between general worker awareness and targeted, hazard-specific training to ensure everyone understands how to mitigate risks.
