PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Certificate in Industrial Ergonomics and Safety prepares students in the design and implementation of an effective human engineering/ergonomics effort within an occupational setting.
The Graduate Certificate in Industrial Ergonomics and Safety prepares students in the design and implementation of an effective human engineering/ergonomics effort within an occupational setting. Because of increasing costs due to injuries, on-the-job accidents, and rehabilitation, interest in injury and accident prevention has increased dramatically. Designing workplaces to accommodate human workers is a key to improving worker safety and occupational health.
