Train-the-Evaluator Certified Ergonomics Office Evaluator (CEOE) (3 Days)
We offer a Train-the-Evaluator class on site for employers who want to be trained to do “Office Assessments”. The training is 2 days of classroom training with practicums and 1 day of hands-on assessment training for 3 trainees. If more people need training we add days for the assessment piece.
We provide certification of completion as a Certified Ergonomics Office Evaluator (CEOE), after attendee’s have met the trainer’s criteria. A certification from Solutions Northwest, Inc., when presented with the curriculum, will serve to let others know that your employees were provided thorough training from a Certified Professional Ergonomist who is an expert in occupational ergonomics.

Fundamentals of Office Ergonomics (1.5 Hours)
Objective:
This session will provide an educational framework for the fundamentals of office ergonomics. Attendees will learn to identify ergonomics risk factors, to use common solutions to eliminate risk factors, and create a systematic approach for performing an office ergonomics assessment. Many of the risk factors that lead to injuries can be avoided with employee training and simple changes to the workstation. Attendees will learn how to take a pro-active approach in identifying the development of symptoms, and how to effectively intervene when work-related disorders occur. Attendees will leave this session with:
- Basic ergonomics definitions, concepts, and guidelines
- An understanding of basic anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics
- The ability to identify ergonomics risk factors, and an understanding of the risk factor-injury association
- The ability to apply solutions to reduce risk factors.
Length of Time:
1.5 Hours
Neutral Posture (1 Hour)
Objective:
To educate employees and managers on how to reduce ergonomics risk factors in their work environment. The focus is to prevent the development of discomfort and work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Length of Time:
1 Hour
General Industry Ergonomics Training (1 Hour)
Objective:
