Ergonomics
In the contemporary workplace, the significance of ergonomics cannot be overstated, with its principles serving as a cornerstone for designing safer, more efficient, and comfortable work environments. Our Ergonomics training is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and mitigate work-related ergonomic challenges, enhancing overall workplace safety and productivity.
Ergonomics, often referred to as human engineering, is the scientific discipline concerned with understanding human interactions with other elements of a system. It applies theory, principles, data, and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. By focusing on the design of tasks, workspaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment, ergonomics seeks to harmonize the work environment with the physical and cognitive capabilities of workers.
This program delves deep into the causes and prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), which are among the most prevalent occupational hazards. MSDs encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the human body’s musculoskeletal system, including muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs. Understanding these disorders is pivotal as they represent a significant portion of work-related injuries, leading to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher healthcare costs.
The training emphasizes the identification of ergonomic risk factors prevalent in various work settings, particularly those beyond conventional office environments. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and forceful exertions, all of which contribute significantly to the development of MSDs. By recognizing these risks, employees and employers can collaboratively implement strategic interventions to mitigate their impact.
Our program is structured to offer practical solutions that can be applied to real-world scenarios. It covers a broad spectrum of ergonomic best practices, from workstation setup and design to the use of appropriate tools and equipment that facilitate natural body postures and movements. The training also highlights the importance of administrative controls such as job rotation, work pacing, and scheduled breaks, which play a crucial role in reducing the duration and intensity of exposure to ergonomic risk factors.
In essence, our ergonomics training program is not merely an educational course but a transformative experience that empowers individuals to create safer and more efficient workplaces. By applying the principles of ergonomics, organizations can not only prevent injuries and improve employee well-being but also enhance operational efficiency and productivity. This program is an indispensable resource for employees, employers, and facility managers committed to fostering a culture of safety and excellence in their organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a free trial of your training?
How do I log in to access my training?
Are you an accredited education provider?
Yes! Yet… it VARIES so much. For example, we’re accredited by Alaska’s Marijuana Control Board to provide their “Marijuana Handler Permit,” Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide their required “Responsible Vendor” compliance training, and others… see our “About Us” (click here) page for accreditations and memberships.
And 99% of our training applies to ANY country or jurisdiction (ex. Canada, Europe Australia, etc.) since our team publishes all our education “agnostically” (or “white-labeled”) so our eLearning solutions really apply to anyone that needs cannabis education… you must understand “English” (our “native language”) that’s really the only criterion to get started.
Our team is always creating new accredited curricula with our Subject Matter Experts who are industry professionals in their respective fields of study. The industry is still developing and there is no universal accreditation (ex. Department of Education, etc.), but we expect to see this change in the NEAR future and realize the vital role that accreditation plays.
Do you offer team training for my business?
How will your industry training help me?
- If you’re a “cannabis lover,“ this training will set you apart from others who merely have read information online or have no cannabis knowledge, it is specialized training that you want today and lovingly seek to learn more about cannabis.
- If you’re an industry professional, we can help set you apart from your peers and make you more valuable to your company. This is the surest way to get a raise or promotion that you likely already deserve (but don’t have a tangible reason to ask).
- If you provide ancillary services, our eLearning solutions are a tangible way to show that you understand and know the industry, which helps you attract better, higher-paying clients to bolster your revenue and make a “bottom-line” impact.
- If you’re a manager or business owner, this training is a great way to learn on-demand for yourself. We are your “Headquarters” (click here) and a great way to train team members so they’re up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
Is it legal for me to take your training?
Do you meet legal accessibility requirements?
- United States: “American Disability Act” (Section 508) is required so that information and technology are accessible for anyone with disabilities.
- Canada: “Accessible Canada Act” aims to benefit all citizens, especially those individuals with disabilities, by helping to create barrier-free accessibility.
- Europe (EU): “European Accessibility Act” used by EU governments and universities, aims to improve cannabis trade and remove country-specific rules.
- Australia: “Disability Discrimination Act” applies to organizations developing online resources so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities.
- WCAG 2.0: Used when deciding how to present content for the best web accessibility, these guidelines are always followed when we develop any media.
- ATAG 2.0: Guidelines to construct content (as well as consuming online content) and help to improve the accessibility of the media that our team produces.
- ARIA 1.0: As many parts of the user interface are dynamic and interactive, we follow these recommendations to utilize assistive technologies (ex. screen-readers).
What is your online training format like?
How long do I have access to my training?
How difficult are the training assessments?
If I fail, am I allowed to re-take the assessment?
Am I guaranteed to get a certificate of completion?
How can someone verify my training certificate(s)?
Easily! You or anyone can verify the authenticity of your certificate by going to the “Verify Certificate” tool (click here) using the unique code found on your certificate. Your certificates are assigned a unique code to VERIFY it in our Learning Management System (LMS) that way anyone can validate it by entering the custom code displayed to confirm its authenticity.
Remember, that you can always access your issued certificate(s) from your account in our LMS, under the “More” section (click here) in your profile. It is possible that you may complete several pieces of training – each with their OWN certificate – it would be time-consuming to visit every course to download all your certificates that have been issued.
To avoid this, on your profile, you can view all the certificates that have been issued to you. Go to your profile page under “Miscellaneous” and click on “My Certificates” which will take you to your ISSUED certificates and you can simply download them all at one (1) time.
