Half-Day Training

Practical half-day certification program focused on operational safety, compliance confidence, and site-level risk control.

Program Overview

The science of ergonomics - the discipline of designing work, workstations, tools, and tasks to fit the capabilities of the human body - offers a systematic solution to MSD risks. When ergonomic principles are properly applied, workplace injury rates fall, productivity increases, employee wellbeing improves, and organizations save significant amounts on medical costs, workers' compensation claims, and replacement staffing. The business case for workplace ergonomics is overwhelming - yet many organizations still treat it as an afterthought.

ICLM's Ergonomics at Workplace Training equips EHS professionals, occupational health staff, supervisors, and HR managers with the practical tools to assess ergonomic risk in both office and industrial environments, implement effective ergonomic improvements, and build a culture of ergonomic awareness across the workforce. The training uses validated assessment tools - RULA, REBA, the NIOSH Lifting Equation, and Liberty Mutual Manual Material Handling Tables - to ensure participants can quantify ergonomic risk and prioritize interventions with scientific rigour.
