We are often asked: What is ergonomics?
According to The International Ergonomics Association, ergonomics is defined as:
‘Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.’
Put simply, the science of designing and arranging products and the local environment to minimize the risk of injury and maximize productivity.
Poor ergonomics (or understanding of ergonomics) could lead to a Repetitive Strain Injury, which can be incredibly painful for the sufferer and can lead to loss of productivity to employers, it is therefore big business!
More courses have been added to WorkRite’s annual training programme to meet an ever-growing demand for places.
This year will run a record number of open courses across the country, and help hundreds of people to gain skills and qualifications as DSE assessors, first aiders, manual handling trainers and a whole lot more.
WorkRite’s updated and refashioned online learning portal, WorkRite 2.0, is now available to existing customers as an upgrade and to all new subscribers.
The portal supports WorkRite’s comprehensive suite of computer-based training and assessment courses which enable organisations to comply with their legal obligations while also saving time and money and improving productivity.
Major design and functional changes and additions have been made to the new site, based largely on feedback received from clients.
East Sussex based WorkRite e-learning and training solutions has announced a sponsorship deal with UK based Ergo Journal, a new web portal dedicated to helping organisations and consumers increase their understanding of ergonomics, and how it can improve health and safety in the workplace.
Ergo Journal aims to be the leading portal for the ergonomics industry. The site includes ergonomics news, latest ergonomics products and product reviews, ergonomics software, changes and effects of ergonomics legislation, DSE and health and safety in the workplace.
The collaboration project was developed by UK based B2B PR Agency Simply MarComms PR (SMPR) to provide a resource and social media platform for Ergonomics news and information.
