• Description:
  Why should I use this ergonomics tool box talk (TBT) training guide? Ergonomics training using a TBT format may help with improving leading indicators for injury prevention (e.g. workers' knowledge, skills, and use of solutions) for reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in construction. What is different about these TBTs? 1. They were designed to relate ergonomics information to the crew's current job. 2. They provide a simple format for planning and leading open discussions about ergonomics with the work crew. 3. They help with pointing out problems: current injury risks or issues in work tasks that make it hard to do the work. 4. They give suggestions for ergonomic solutions: ways to make work tasks easier to do. 5. They are based on research with multiple construction trades. [Description provided by NIOSH]
