2 prevention through the application of ergonomics participants are introduced to the importance of their role in injury prevention. Through identifying the risk factors and job demands associated with the work performed in their work areas and undertaking interventions when risk factors are observed employees can prevent injury. Topics to be covered include: Injury Prevention Awareness Program for Supervisors Front-line supervisors play an important role in injury prevention. It is important for them to understand the risk factors and job demands associated with the work performed in their areas. Front-line supervisors must learn to recognize and undertake interventions whenever risk factors are observed. Interventions might include identifying ways to help employees avoid fatigue through the application of proper body mechanics, use of recommended lifting techniques and performing flexibility exercises. Other interventions might involve engineering or administrative redesign of work tasks. These concepts are reinforced through workplace-specific examples, demonstrations and practice. Job Safety Analysis Employers responsible for workplace safety, through a site-specific analysis process, can create a safe working environment for their employees. Participants are guided through a job hazard analysis methodology, which prioritizes hazards, breaks hazardous jobs into individual steps, and uncovers the unique hazards in each step. Personnel responsible for these programs have to determine the key elements that will become an effective, comprehensive, and enforceable safety program for their workplace. This course will analyze examples of different types of programs, identify elements of each example, and finally piece these elements together into a safety program that the participants can build on. Other topics may include: Participants who successfully complete this training will receive a Department of Labor hour card. Personal Protective Equipment Employers must assess the workplace to identify site-specific hazards that require personal protective equipment PPE.
