Our Industrial Ergonomics training course educates employees in manufacturing, construction, and warehouse environments about the risks, symptoms, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common and costly workplace injuries in the United States — affecting muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, and cartilage. Poorly designed work tasks and environments can lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and bursitis that result in lost productivity, workers' compensation claims, and long-term disability. This 21-minute program covers OSHA guidelines, MSD risk factors, control strategies, and how employees can take a proactive role in preventing ergonomic injuries on the job. Available in English and Spanish.
