Course emphasis is on industrial case studies covering analysis and design of work stations and equipment workshops in manual lifting, and coverage of current OSHA compliance policies and guidelines. Upon course completion students will have the ability to recognize work-related musculoskeletal and nerve disorders, assess employer’s ergonomic programs, and conduct ergonomic evaluations. Minimum student contact hours: 18

  • Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) Classes

    Per OSHA’s guidelines for VILT courses, students are required to have video capabilities and must be visible at all times to the instructor and facilitator during the class. Unfortunately, if a student cannot comply with this requirement, they will not be able to attend the class. Students are required to attend all days and times in order to receive a course completion certificate and/or trainer card. Students must use a desktop or laptop to participate. Tablets or phones are not allowed.

    IMPORTANT: The VILT classes at CEF Colorado are available to anyone who lives or works in OSHA Region 8 (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado). Additionally, if you are a current Outreach Trainer with CEF Colorado, regardless of your residence, you are still eligible to attend a Trainer Update Course
