Module 1: Introduction to Ergonomics and Sensory Skills
This module provides an overview of ergonomics, introduces sensory skills relevant to ergonomic assessments, and explains the importance of sensory feedback in ergonomic practices.
This specialized module focuses on the science of ergonomics and its application in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). You'll learn how to design workspaces that accommodate human capabilities and limitations.
Musculoskeletal disorders account for nearly 33% of all workplace injuries, with proper ergonomic interventions reducing these incidents by 50-90% according to OSHA data.
