Course Length: 60 minutes
Updated Spring 2011
High-impact training
covering the essentials of laboratory ergonomics.
Many of the activities performed in a laboratory can exert
stress and strain on muscles and joints, ultimately causing significant
injuries. To work safely and maintain good ergonomic health, employees need to
know how to avoid movements and work patterns that can be harmful.
Laboratory Ergonomics
discusses the need to set up work areas correctly, as well as how to minimize
the strain of using laboratory equipment, tools, and instruments.
This training covers the following topics:
- Parts
of the body most susceptible to ergonomic problems
- Arranging
work areas to minimize stress and strain
- Working
from "neutral" positions
- Most
and least stressful types of body movements
- Proper
lifting techniques
- Effective
stretching exercises
- And
more!.
Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video,
