Additional Information

1-Hour Ergonomics Course Training Details

On construction sites, injuries from poor body mechanics can be as serious as falls or equipment malfunctions. Lifting heavy materials, working in cramped spaces, or performing the same task over and over again can leave you dealing with long-term muscle pain, joint problems, or even more severe injuries. The 1-Hour Ergonomics Course Training focuses on how to spot and fix these problems before they slow you down or take you out of work.

We cover practical topics, like how to use powered tools instead of manual ones when possible, why job rotation can help you avoid fatigue, and the importance of stretching and warming up before your shift. With these small changes, you can reduce strain and keep working comfortably.

We also walk you through case studies of common injuries, showing how they could have been avoided with small adjustments. By the end of the course, you’ll have an action plan to make your daily tasks safer and less exhausting.

Who Should Attend This Course?

  • Construction workers: Whether you’re lifting materials or operating heavy machinery, this course will help you work safely and avoid strain.
  • Site supervisors and managers: Learn how to recognize ergonomic risks on-site and implement changes that protect your crew.
  • Contractors and subcontractors: Ensure your teams are trained to reduce physical stress and improve overall productivity.
  • Project developers: Stay compliant with safety standards while promoting efficient work processes.
  • Safety professionals: Gain updated knowledge on ergonomic practices to enhance your overall safety programs.
