In this video, students are shown scenes of office employees at work and are asked to identify the hazards present. The clips are played back with narration and graphics explaining the problem and how to correct it. This method can make the training more interesting to employees weary of standard safety videos.
Ergonomics: Working From Home - SS2210AE (7 Min.)
Description
When we mention the word Ergonomics, what comes to mind? Do you think of adjusting modern office workstations to better fit the individual? That IS ergonomics…but with telecommuting, home offices and ever changing portable technologies, it’s become so much more than that.

Industrial Ergonomics - SS1082IE (9 min.)
Description
The official definition of Ergonomics is this...to apply engineering controls and scientific principles when designing a work environment that accommodates the employee in relation to the workplace, product, equipment, tools, workspace and organization of the work. The objective of ergonomics is to fit the task to the worker, rather than forcing the worker to adapt to the existing conditions. To put it simply, ergonomics is about making your job more user friendly. This video does exactly that and along the way you’ll learn how to prevent CTDs and other cumulative injuries by recognizing the warning signs before they cause pain and discomfort. The Goal? Fewer injuries and CTD's, improved productivity with less time off the job due to ergonomic injuries, and an overall better quality of life, on and off the job.

Office Ergonomics: Adjusting Your Workstation - SS1057IE (14 min.)
Description
This unique approach to Ergonomics training, begins by asking each viewer to select what area of their body, if any, is experiencing pain or discomfort. They are shown common postures that can cause or contribute to the conditions. The viewer is then lead through a comprehensive and specific method of adjusting a workstation to maximize neutral postures and minimize pain, discomfort and strain. This program also points out the multitude of other factors outside of the workplace that can contribute to musculo-skeletal disorders. This encourages viewers to take steps to adopt neutral postures in all of their activities.
To the point about Ergonomics - APTP15
Description
When parts of our bodies are subjected to awkward positions, we risk the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Using proper work practice controls in both office and industrial settings can prevent these types of injuries. This program discusses how workers can use these controls to reduce, control or eliminate ergonomic risk factors. Topics include engineering & administrative controls, work practice controls for various body parts, how to lift & carry loads properly, and how & why to report symptoms of MSDs.
Understanding & Controlling Ergonomic Risk Factors - AP4761S SPANISH
Description
Ergonomics can be complicated, but this program provides a simple explanation all employees can understand. Ergonomic controls are used in almost all workplaces to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), often called cumulative trauma disorders or repetitive stress injuries. Workers often ignore the signs and symptoms of these disorders until a chronic condition has developed and they often don’t know the measures they can take to prevent them. That’s the purpose of this program–to explain what ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders are and the measures your organization takes to control ergonomic risk factors. More importantly, the program reviews work control practices that workers can follow to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses. It also features both office and industrial settings to illustrate important lessons about ergonomics.
