Often this is taken for granted as we become too involved in other projects and neglect the new hires, transfers or other personnel that come into the environment. A good training program will address many of these issues. You must provide training initially and periodically every 3 years at no cost to employees. You must train employees in identified problem jobs, supervisors of employees in the problem jobs and persons involved in setting up and managing the ergonomics program. The requirements of the standard While many videos have come out recently offering ergonomics training, they may not satisfy the compliance aspect of the standard.
Videos are unable to answer questions or interact with students.
Both offer no Hands-On experience that is incorporated in all of our training programs. Experience also shows us that if you desire to bring about real change in employee behaviors and attitudes then a video or CD-ROM is not going to get the job done. You will seriously need to consider personalized, customized face to face training. The good news is that you probably have many folks within your organization that are quite capable of meeting this need. They may need some training but once up to speed they are able to repackage and present the material on your schedule.
