Day 2 - Choose Your Track!

The curriculum of this seminar is built specifically for you. After attending the Foundations Skills workshop on Day 1, you’ll choose from two concurrent tracks.

Identifying high-risk jobs and conducting risk assessments in a classroom isn’t the same as doing it in a real work environment. In this track, participants will practice what they’ve learned at a local manufacturing facility. Working alongside our board-certified ergonomists, you’ll identify high-risk jobs, measure risk reduction, and justify workplace changes. What’s more, you’ll interact with Humantech’s Industrial Ergonomics software solution along the way.

Every successful process requires a driver to establish a roadmap and continually monitor progress. If you’re behind the wheel of your ergonomics program, this workshop is for you. Built on the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle of continuous improvement, participants will roll up their sleeves and get to work planning and documenting their company’s ergonomics process. After dissecting the current state of your program and benchmarking with peers, you’ll draft a plan appropriate for your organization, establish goals and metrics, and define organizational roles. If you already have an ergonomics process in place, you’ll have an opportunity to perform a gap analysis and identify improvements to your existing plan.
