Through our online certification course you will complete a minimum of 16 hours of training. The training consists of both classroom content and hands-on application. The training must be completed by an Ergo-ology employed ergonomist.

The course includes:

• Physical demands of work and cumulative trauma of soft tissue
• Tactical and strategic approaches to implementing ergonomics processes
• Micro/macro-ergonomic process methods
• Technical knowledge including anthropometry, biomechanics, functional anatomy, impact of physical stress
• Technical knowledge of engineering design considerations including, principals, guidelines, standards for equipment, tools, physical layouts (space, lighting, noise)
• Usability and reliability
• Ergonomic solution implementation methods and regulations of job design, engineering controls and administrative guidelines.
• Physical measures and psychophysical/subjective measure
• Risk screening and assessment tools and testing situations
• Business considerations for prioritizing ergonomics opportunity
• Validating implementation of solutions (metrics driven approaches)

The third step of your certification process is demonstrated through a real-life project application.

This project is a hands-on demonstration of your Work products (projects) are required to demonstrate your proficiency to implement the information provided during training. A completion of at least one approved work product is required within 6 months of taking the CEPS® training and must pass inspection from a minimum of 3 Ergo-ology ergonomist.
