Making Ergonomics Easy to Teach — and Easy to Use

Half of your workplace injuries are strains and sprains — Do half of your safety talks focus on ergonomics? Safety professionals know these injuries drain productivity, morale, and budgets.

What if you had ready-to-go, interactive training kits that workers actually remembered and used — and the results were measurable?

We’re so confident our microlearning kits make a difference that we’ll prove it free when you purchase a package.


What are microlearning kits?

Think of them as lesson plans designed for quick, hands-on safety talks. Each kit encourages workers to adopt a proven ergonomic strategy using adult learning principles. Trainers, supervisors, or H&S reps can deliver them — no ergonomist required.

Every kit includes:

  • A poster (to introduce or reinforce the message)

  • A short script for the trainer

  • A live demonstration

  • A practical hands-on exercise

  • Debriefing questions with answers

The strategies are worker-generated, ergonomist-validated, and pilot-run before they reach you.


How do they work in practice?

Here are just a few situations where safety trainers can use microlearning:

  • New equipment is coming that will make a job easier, but you need an interim fix to reduce injuries now.

  • You see workers in a rework area struggling with awkward parts — an injury waiting to happen.

  • Your team got new adjustable furniture, but no one is using the features properly.

  • Experienced workers are retiring soon — and you want to capture and share their safe work strategies.

You choose the delivery model:

  • Weekly safety talks (ideal for sprain/strain prevention)

  • Monthly sessions, mixed with other safety topics

  • Seasonal gatherings (e.g., all snowplow drivers trained at once)


Packages built for your workforce

You can buy a single kit ($300), or a package of 8 or more ($2,040+). Packages are currently available for:

  • Outdoor workers

  • Long-term care staff

  • Office workers

  • Drivers (more kits coming soon)

  • Custodial & housekeeping

  • Distribution & warehousing

  • Paramedics (more kits coming soon)

  • Universal (mix & match for your workplace)

Custom kits can also be created for unique tasks.


Proving that it works

Here’s how we measure impact:

  1. Employees complete a short survey (via QR code or link) before training.

  2. Trainers gather quick 10-point ratings after delivering each kit.

  3. Employees repeat the survey after all sessions.

  4. We run the stats and send you a free report on changes in comfort, confidence, productivity, quality and engagement.

Early clients have already reported impressive results:

  • Productivity, engagement, and quality scores were predicted to rise 15–18% if discomfort were reduced (baseline survey indicator)

  • 46% improvement in end-of-day comfort after 12 sessions

  • Confidence in “knowing the best way to do a task” almost doubled

  • Workers expect to use the strategies 9.1/10 days


Why trainers love microlearning kits

  • Ready to deliver: clear instructions, plain language, engaging activities

  • Flexible: use as safety talks, workshops, or seasonal sessions

  • Evidence-based: grounded in science (biomechanics) and worker input

  • Proven: already in use in long-term care, offices, manufacturing, and more

Props are simple and low-cost — sometimes as basic as bathroom scales to demonstrate force.


Ready to see the proof?

We’ve already delivered packages to long-term care, office, and industrial clients. A full Paramedics package launches by year-end. But we want more proof — and that’s where you come in.
