Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) account for an astounding number of the WCB claims and lost-time injuries incurred annually in the workforce. As such, the OHS Professional requires the skills to identify hazards related to MSIs, evaluate their risk and recommend controls. In this course, students will explore the science of ergonomics and the interface between the worker, the work and the work environment. There is an emphasis on strategies and techniques that address the interface between human, machine, task and tools.
