About us
In the 1970's, our founder was crippled in a mining accident. His training for the job consisted of 45 minutes of instructions on how to drive a TEREX rock truck fully loaded up and down a mountain. The training was inadequate and am paying the consequences for the rest of my life. We understand that an injured employee and his employer are not the only ones affected by an incident. Entire families are affected, many times for generations. That's why we are in this business, to make training available (and affordable) for anyone to assist in preventing injuries at work or home.

Ergonomics (CS)
Frequently Asked Questions
The course defines ergonomics as the science of fitting the job to the worker doing that job, rather than expecting the worker to adapt to a fixed task.
The course covers reducing musculoskeletal disorder risk factors by redesigning a workstation, changing how a job is performed, rotating workers through different jobs, or providing PPE.
The course notes that the Clinton-era ergonomics standard was revoked, changing the regulatory landscape for how ergonomic hazards are formally addressed.
Despite the revoked standard, the course explains that OSHA still cites ergonomics violations under the General Duty Clause when hazards are present.
The stated goal is reducing a worker's exposure to musculoskeletal disorder risk factors, achieved through workstation design changes rather than eliminating the job itself.
