Description: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) result when there is a mismatch between the physical capacity of workers and the demands of the job. Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of disability of people in their working years, afflicting over 19 million workers. One-half of the nation's workforce is affected at some time during their working lives. Statistics show a steady increase in musculoskeletal disorders. Each year thousands of workers in the United States report work-related MSDs such as tendonitis, epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and back injuries. Many of these are caused or aggravated by work-related stressors such as lifting, reaching, pulling, pushing, and bending.  The cost to the nation in direct worker's comp costs exceeds $20 billion. The latest statistics report 650,000 work-related MSDs annually. About one-third of all occupational injuries and illnesses stem from overexertion and/or repetitive motion.  Companies, both large and small, have developed ergonomic programs that use a programmatic approach to identify and solve their ergonomic problems. While helpful, outside consultants or experts are often not necessary. The majority of ergonomic problems can be satisfactorily addressed by low-cost interventions utilizing in-house resources. The required amount of time to complete the course is dependent upon your knowledge of workplace safety. You have up to six months to complete the course.   Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to: Define ergonomics and identify different types of musculoskeletal disorder injuries (MSD) to recognize the importance of ergonomics in the workplace. Identify the signs, symptoms, and significance of MSD injuries in the workplace to better understand the industry recommendations and guidelines for ergonomics.

Description: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) result when there is a mismatch between the physical capacity of workers and the demands of the job. Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of disability of people in their working years, afflicting over 19 million workers. One-half of the nation's workforce is affected at some time during their working lives. Statistics show a steady increase in musculoskeletal disorders. Each year thousands of workers in the United States report work-related MSDs such as tendonitis, epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and back injuries. Many of these are caused or aggravated by work-related stressors such as lifting, reaching, pulling, pushing, and bending.  The cost to the nation in direct worker's comp costs exceeds $20 billion. The latest statistics report 650,000 work-related MSDs annually. About one-third of all occupational injuries and illnesses stem from overexertion and/or repetitive motion.  Companies, both large and small, have developed ergonomic programs that use a programmatic approach to identify and solve their ergonomic problems. While helpful, outside consultants or experts are often not necessary. The majority of ergonomic problems can be satisfactorily addressed by low-cost interventions utilizing in-house resources.
