Web-based ergonomic courses

EWI Works now offers web based ergonomic training for our clients. Web-based courses make the training stage of implementing your ergonomic program worry-free and cost effective. Employees complete the online training course conveniently—at their own workstation, at their own pace. The course is available for one year of unlimited use.

The advantages:

the need to have a certified ergonomist teach the course at your site is no longer necessary, therefore there are no instructor fees or travel charges incurred for training staff
the cost of lost production time is decreased as the need to remove large groups of staff from operational duties is eliminated
