Ergonomics & Manual Handling Training
Ergonomics training built on your tasks, your workstations and your tooling: manual handling, repetitive strain and the small corrections that prevent long-term injuries.
Did you know?
Musculoskeletal injuries develop gradually through months of repeated strain, which makes them easy to overlook and highly preventable with the right training.
Ergonomics covers how work fits the human body. Musculoskeletal injuries develop gradually, through months or years of repeated strain rather than a single event, and the exposure spans industrial and office roles alike:
- Manual lifting and carrying
- Repetitive motion and strain
- Workstation and screen setup
- Push, pull and awkward force tasks
- Vibration from tools and plant
Because the damage builds slowly, there's no single incident to learn from, and poor technique can continue for years before it shows up as an injury.
Ergonomics training is task-specific. Workers see their own lifts, workstations and tools with the strain made visible, learn corrections mapped to the actual movement, and get workplace cues that keep the corrections in place. Aimed where your injury data points, it addresses one of the most expensive injury categories in industry.
What makes SHIIFT different is format agnosticism: we build in every medium, so ergonomics training follows your tasks rather than a template. Content aims where your injury data points, so the corrections match the actual tasks.
- Training videos: your actual tasks filmed with corrections people recognize, because the lift on screen is the lift on shift
- Animation: strain made visible inside the body, movement by movement, so the slow injury finally looks like one
- E-learning: manual handling and workstation fundamentals for everyone, from the shop floor to the control room
- Interactive scenarios: spot-and-correct exercises on realistic setups, scored so improvement is measurable
- Posters: the right technique kept visible at the exact workstation where the strain happens
- PowerPoint materials: toolbox decks for the month's focus area, aligned to your injury trends
Programs span industrial handling and desk setups alike, and completion can report through optional SCORM integration.
Programs span site-wide awareness and role-specific content for the teams your injury data flags, with assessments that check people can spot and correct a poor setup rather than just name one.
Completion and scores can report to your LMS through the optional SCORM integration.

Common questions
What does ergonomics training cover?
+
We cover manual handling technique, workstation setup, repetitive strain prevention and early reporting, built on your own tasks and equipment.
Can it target the injuries in our data?
+
We design the program around the strains your records flag, whether that's lifting on the shop floor or posture in the control room, so effort goes where the cost is.
Which formats does ergonomics training use?
+
Ergonomics training can use any of our formats, from task-specific films and animation that makes strain visible inside the body, to e-learning, interactive exercises and workstation posters. We recommend the mix that fits your tasks and your workforce.
Does it work for offices as well as industrial sites?
+
We build for both: manual handling and tooling for industrial teams, and desk, screen and control room setup for everyone else.
Can the content be reused as our tasks change?
+
We build your ergonomics content as a library, so new tasks, tools and stations slot into the existing program instead of starting over.
How is ergonomics training evidenced?
+
We report completion and assessment results per learner into your LMS through the optional SCORM add-on, giving your HSE team a record that stands up in reviews.
