Ergonomics often conjure up a multitude of questions: Do I need an ergonomic program? Why is it important? How do I get started? What are the key elements of an ergonomic program?

Come discover the numerous benefits of ergonomics for your company during a hands-on demonstration. This workshop will have you on your feet and moving - a welcome break from your otherwise sedentary work style. Using case studies to problem solve, you'll learn to conduct a basic office ergonomic evaluation, including assessing risk factors and finding ergonomic solutions.

You'll find out the answers to the above questions, and these below:

-Who in the company should be involved in the program?
-How do I control costs?
-How do I sell this ergonomic program to upper management as well as to the employees?
-What is the ROI with ergonomics?
