The Ergonomics and the Video Display Terminal program was designed to cover some of the different issues surrounding ergonomics as it applies to the Video Display Terminal or VDT. Ergonomics is adapting an environment to the limits of the human body. It is not just about comfort, but design and function with the human body in mind.
Office And Computer Ergonomics is a short training program. We're going to discuss only one part of a good safety program. It's called ergonomics. There have been improvements in the study of ergonomics in recent years. The purpose of this program is to make viewers aware of ergonomics and how specific techniques can help prevent injuries in the workplace.
Ergonomics program discusses the major elements required for an effective ergonomics program. Let's take a look at the four major elements of an effective ergonomics program. Keep in mind your program will never be completed because ergonomics requires a continuing effort.
Every company's goal is employee safety. Improvements and advancements have been made in the study of ergonomics. This program will discuss on musculoskeletal disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, material handling and much more.
Ergonomics is adapting the work environment to fit the body. This program is about types of injuries, engineering controls, personal protective equipment relating to ergonomics.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Ergonomics program explains the cause of CTS and prevention. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by consistently compressing a nerve that travels through a fibrous tunnel in the wrist to the hand (hence, carpal tunnel) and one good way to get it appears to be typing and moving the mouse around with your wrists at an angle for long periods of time.
Ergonomics and the Industrial Environment course outlines the approach most commonly recommended for identifying and correcting ergonomic problems. This course addresses one of the most prevalent and costly safety and health problems in the modern workplace and provides useful information for putting a program into place.
Not everyone was excited about the passage of the new OSHA law. On December 29, 1970 the William Stiger Occupational Safety & Health Act gave the federal government the authority to set and enforce safety and health standards for most of the country's workers. On April 28, 1971 OSHA became law. The program discusses the OSHA law and how it is surviving. You will hear comments from eight safety experts in this film.
Stopping Ergonomic Injuries program discusses types of injuries, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment relating to ergonomics. Everyone has seen or heard about ergonomics. Most of us have an understanding about ergonomics and what it means, but we don't always incorporate this knowledge into practice on the job.
Safe Lifting for the Trucking and Warehouse Industry program covers the anatomy of the back, strains and sprains and much more. Preventing back injuries is a very popular subject because back injuries continue to occur at an alarming rate.
Fall prevention has been a major concern for many with recent statistics reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealing that fatal falls were down 25% from a high of 847 in 2007. More training is necessary to further reduce the number of falls. The goal of this program is to prevent falls and gain an awareness of fall prevention equipment.
Most companies have an effective safety program because employers care about all their employees. A part of the safety program includes ergonomics. Ergonomics emerged during World War II when engineers began working with airplane pilots to determine if flying could be made more comfortable. This program deals with preventing ergonomic-related accidents and injuries.
Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) are treated like ergonomics - the fit between people and their tools and workplaces. This program will identify potential injuries and hazards relating to ergonomics an how to prevent injuries.
According to the National Safety Council and medical research, 70% of backaches are the result of degeneration of spinal discs. You probably heard the warning "bend your knees and lift with your legs." This program will explain how the back works so you will have enough information to make the right choices.
Cumulative trauma injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and back pain often result from awkward and repetitive use of the hands, wrists, legs, feet, neck and back. Many workers utilize only a select group of muscles for the entire day, causing fatigue, repetitive motion injuries and other cumulative trauma conditions.
