SafeStart Personal Ergonomics
SafeStart Personal Ergonomics addresses physical factors and human error to truly solve ergonomic problems. The program blends traditional lessons on body positioning with personal safety concepts that allow workers to identify exertion injuries and repetitive strains before they happen.
Essential ergonomic strategies
Our ergonomics training begins with a professional review of key ergonomic risks and strategies, including the fundamentals of:
- body positioning and posture awareness
- safe stretches and exercises for injury prevention
- strengthening and recovery tactics
- lifting techniques
- associated cognitive functions
- ergonomic-related habits
The course covers “neck to ankle,” with an emphasis on the lower back and shoulders where most strains and musculoskeletal injuries occur. A proven learning design brings employees to an “aha” moment and then gives them skills and practice to make safe ergonomic decisions in real time.
Lower TRI. Less missed time.
SafeStart Personal Ergonomics teaches employees the predictable patterns of ergonomic injuries, allowing workers to make safer choices, build better habits and avoid getting hurt. The end result is fewer strains, less overexertion, more consistent use of safe lifting technique and better bodily awareness.
The course also helps more people show up for work every day. Chronic muscle pain causes many employees to call in sick, even if they’re not medically diagnosed as unfit to work. SafeStart Personal Ergonomics training cuts down on no-shows and undocumented ergonomic issues.
