Spring Series of Ergonomics Seminars Targets Improving Productivity and Reducing Workplace Injuries
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Humantech, Inc. has announced the spring schedule of its popular series of ergonomics seminars. Health and safety staff, engineers, facilities managers, human resources professionals, and ergonomics committees can learn to maximize the benefits of an ergonomics process from Humantech's experienced, board certified professional ergonomists. The spring 2009 seminar schedule features a new office ergonomics course, co-sponsored by AliMed, and industrial ergonomics. Seminars will be offered in Newport Beach, Calif., Nashville, Tenn., and Humantech's Ann Arbor, Mich. corporate training center.
According to James Mallon, board certified professional ergonomist and vice president of Humantech, "Our straightforward approach will arm participants with the knowledge and skills they need to target problem jobs and make immediate, simple, and effective improvements to their organization's workplace." As a result of this hands-on seminar, participants will be able to apply tools and techniques to make an impact on their health and safety metrics through an effective ergonomics process that drives down risk, injuries, and cost. He added "The new office course will give attendees an opportunity to see and test some of the newest ergonomically designed products firsthand, courtesy of AliMed."
Applied Industrial Ergonomics will be held in Ann Arbor, Nashville, and Newport Beach. This two-day seminar focuses on practical approaches to improving problem jobs, increasing productivity, and reducing injuries in an industrial environment. Attendees will learn to evaluate workstations and equipment, identify factors contributing to work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and prioritize ergonomic improvements to maximize return on investment.
Applied Office Ergonomics, a one-day seminar co-sponsored by AliMed and offered in Ann Arbor and Newport Beach, features a new hands-on portion during which participants will review office equipment featuring the latest examples of keyboards, input devices, and workstation accessories. The goal of the course is to provide participants with the tools, knowledge, and resources to achieve dramatic improvements in office productivity and health and safety through ergonomics.
