If you mention on-the-job injuries, people are likely to think of accidents that involve traumatic injuries, such as fractures, burns, or other clearly visible damage to the human body. But in fact, the fastest-growing category of workplace injuries involves damage that is much harder to see; injuries caused by repetitive motion and stress. In today's highly complex, rapidly changing business environment, people in all types of work are at greater risk for theses types of injuries. In a recent year over 281,000 work-related injuries in the United States were caused by repetition disorders—more than double the number reported four years earlier. The most common types of injuries are Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). Workplaces traditionally have been designed to move products or support machines efficiently. Since people have always seemed so adaptable, how they fit into the workplace has received less attention. But because of the increasing number of injuries caused by repetitive motion, excessive force and awkward postures, ergonomics has become a critical factor in workplace safety. A solid ergonomics program can provide several benefits to your organization. "Basics of Ergonomics" will help workers understand ergonomics. Workers learn the risk factors and how they are controlled. Workers will be prepared to apply ergonomic concepts to their jobs and to actively support and contribute to your company's ergonomic program.

Many businesses and industries are discovering they have problems with injuries caused by repetitive motion and stress. The effects of these injuries are not always easy to see, nor are the hidden costs involved: slower production, lower quality, job retraining, unemployment, long-term disabilities, and increased worker's compensation costs. In today's highly complex, rapidly changing business environment, people in all types of work face increasing risks for these types of injuries. In one recent year over 281,000 injuries in the United States were caused by repetition disorders;more than double the number reported four years earlier. The most common types of these injuries are Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). Because of the increasing number of injuries caused by repetitive motion, excessive force, and/or awkward postures and positions, ergonomics has become a critical factor in workplace safety. Ergonomics is the science that seeks to adapt tasks and tools to fit the person. It's a way of looking at the design of tasks, tools, equipment, workplace layouts and the overall organization of work to fit the job to the person, rather than the person to the job. It's important that supervisors and managers understand CTDs and how to prevent them. This knowledge will help supervisors and managers protect employees, enhance productivity, and control the costs associated with CTDs.

Today's office work environment is changing at an accelerated pace. New technologies have made offices more efficient and specialized, but these developments have also led to a rapid increase in employee complaints of back pain and cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Office ergonomic task analysis involves looking at how employees work and finding ways to adapt that work to avoid injuries. This analysis is rooted in the science of ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science that seeks to adapt tasks and tools to fit the person. It's a way of looking at the design of tasks, tools, equipment, workplace layouts, and the overall organization of work to fit the job to the person, rather than the person to the job. By understanding how to analyze office tasks for potential ergonomic health hazards and how to create solutions to eliminate them, supervisors and managers can help employees work in ways that reduce the risk of CTDs, control the costs associated with those injuries, and increase everyone's safety.

Technology has changed the way we work. Today, we find ourselves in an information age, where sending and receiving messages is as important as transporting product. In the past we often performed a variety of tasks that helped us stay fit. Now, work moves faster, is more specialized, and our bodies have less variety in the movements made on the job. You probably don't even realize how your job can effect your body. Until you begin to feel the strain. We need to learn how to work by considering what is best for our bodies. That's what ergonomics is all about. Ergonomics; designing the job to fit the person, rather than making the person fit the job. It's the science of designing tools and equipment, the layout of workplaces, and the overall organization of work to improve employee well being and workplace efficiency.

Every workplace has the need for ongoing maintenance. Installation, repair, and servicing of machines and equipment may seem routine, but can be dangerous to employees performing the work. Serious injury can be caused by the sudden and unexpected startup of the machinery or equipment, contact with live electrical circuits or the unexpected release of stored energy. Equipment that has been shut down may inadvertently be re-started or re-energized by a co-worker, or equipment that was thought to be shut down may be controlled by automatic processors, timers, or computers and may re-start automatically and without warning. Failure to control hazardous energy sources results in approximately 120 deaths, 28,000 lost work days, and accounts for 10% of serious industrial accidents annually in the U.S. alone. Fortunately, these hazards can be avoided through the use of lockout/tagout procedures. Lockout/tagout procedures isolate energy and control machinery and equipment, helping to protect employees servicing the equipment, operators, bystanders, and the equipment itself. This course teaches your workers proper lockout/tagout procedures, why the procedures are important, how and when to use them, and how to safely restart the equipment or machinery.

During this century, as the use of machinery has increased in the workplace, so has the number of machine-related injuries. Injuries such as crushed hands and arms, severed fingers, and blindness now account for a significant number of all workplace injuries. In many cases, the injuries are serious enough to affect the employee's ability to continue to work— sometimes, permanently. In addition to the cost to injured workers, there are additional costs to employers: medical payments, workers' compensation, lost work days, and supervisory time. Machine safeguarding has become an important means of keeping the workplace safe. Machine safeguarding refers to specific controls designed to prevent employees from coming into contact with equipment that could cause injury. By understanding where the hazards exist in your workplace, supervisory personnel can help ensure that proper safeguards are in place to protect employees. In addition, all employees who work with potentially hazardous machinery or operations need to understand how machine safeguards work and how to use them to prevent injury.

Air is one of the most basic elements of our world, and as humans, we need the oxygen provided by air to breathe. But sometimes employees have to work in areas with atmospheres that aren't safe. This might be caused by lack of oxygen or because the air is contaminated by dusts, mists, vapors, or fumes. Breathing in contaminated or low-oxygen atmospheres can cause serious illnesses, injuries, and even death. In those situations, special equipment is needed to help employees breathe and stay safe. Respiratory protection equipment allows employees to protect their lungs against workplace hazards. Because many potentially dangerous places can exist at your place of work, it's important to make sure that all employees understand the risks of oxygen deficiency and air contamination, have proper respiratory protection equipment, and most importantly, take personal responsibility for their respiratory safety. By understanding the hazards, selecting the proper respiratory protection, and training employees in their use, you can keep everyone safe and avoid costly injuries and illnesses.

Hazardous materials are often part of our everyday activities in the workplace. Used correctly, chemicals are an important part of the work we do. Some materials though important tools, can also be flammable, and corrosive, toxic, or reactive. If hazardous materials are in your workplace, it's important that everyone be aware of the risks and how to avoid them whether the WHMIS Regulation tells us so or not.
