Ergonomics training and self-help software
The Road to Comfort is an interactive on-line guide to health and comfort for anyone
who uses a computer.
It promotes individual responsibility for health and well
being. Fast and user-friendly, it takes only moments to find the
information you’re looking for. It's deliberately inexpensive so every employee can have a copy.
It helps users:
- Adjust their workstation correctly – chair, desk, VDU and mouse;
- Perform simple stretching exercises;
- Remedy minor discomforts caused by poor work practices;
- Reduce fatigue by working smarter; and
- Resolve bad feelings in the workplace.
It helps managers:
- Keep track of who has been trained;
- Gather reports about discomfort, and act upon them;
- Reduce the cost of work-related injuries;
- Keep up-to-date with the latest thinking in ergonomics; and
- Send a consistent, positive message about health and comfort at the
computer.
How it works – the user’s perspective:
You train at
your own workstation at your own pace, learning to adjust
your furniture and equipment and learning sound work techniques. As you move through the training, you fill out a Completion
Certificate, recording your training and also noting any
problems that you can’t solve without help. The program takes about 30 minutes to complete.
At any time later, you
can use the software as a personal advisor, to help identify and resolve
any aches, pains or feelings of stress that may develop while you work.
The program is so easy to use, it doesn't even need instructions.
How it works – the manager’s perspective:
No software installation is required! After copying just one file or
directory to your server (depending on the version you choose), you send each user a Certificate of Completion by email or in printed
form, giving them a network address pointing to the file, and asking them to
fill in and return the Certificate.
The software comes with a deployment guide that tells you how to
introduce the package and how to deal with the responses you receive. When the Certificates are returned to you, for
people without problems, it takes only seconds to check their
form. If someone has a problem that needs attention, the deployment guide explains
how to respond, or you may use your existing health response systems.
What it costs - The software costs under $10 per user in
quantity. Combine that with savings in staff time from the efficient
training sequence, and you've got probably the least expensive method of
ergonomics training available today.
Optional customised versions - Talk to us. If you have exercise graphics,
standard chairs, etc we can include them in your version for a small
customisation fee.
Performance -
If you’re tired of waiting minutes for on-line education programs to load,
you’ll be delighted with this package. The Windows Help version is so
fast, it's virtually instantaneous. The HTML Help version is also speedy compared to
other online courses.
Formats - The Windows Help version is ideal for Windows users on an
internal network, whereas the HTML Help version can be read by virtually
every browser. They have the
same content.
