When employees are well trained in ergonomics, businesses
can realize economic benefits in less lost time and fewer
worker compensation claims. Research demonstrates numerous
positive benefits from ergonomics solutions, including increased
productivity and work quality, and decreased absenteeism.
Ergonomics training over the web has a number of advantages
over the traditional classroom setting:
| • |
Self-directed and self-paced
|

Interactive (exercises, scenarios, and case studies)
|
| • |
Provides time and cost savings
|
| • |
Accommodates different learning techniques |
| • |

The key to computer-based training is that it can be done
at any time, in any place, making it a much more flexible
method than traditional classroom training.
