AAOHN ROLLS OUT CHANGES TO ERGONOMICS WEB SITE
Enhancements Offer Additional Tools and Resources and Make Site More User-Friendly
ATLANTA -- The American Association of Occupational Health Nurses (AAOHN) is rolling out several additions to its ergonomics Web site, www.ergoresources.org. The enhancements, which will make the site more user friendly, include a new listserv, a new section containing downloadable templates and tools, and a more detailed list of links and other scholarly references.
"AAOHN developed this Web site to provide occupational and environmental health nurses and other occupational health and safety professionals with the tools they need to address workplace musculoskeletal disorders ," said AAOHN President Susan A. Randolph.
While there are currently many online ergonomics resources available, the philosophy behind AAOHN’s site is to offer free, educational information, with an emphasis on a programmatic approach to ergonomics.
AAOHN developed the Web site in 2003 as part of its alliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). One of the areas of focus for the alliance is ergonomics. The others include workplace violence prevention and emergency preparedness.
For more information about www.ergoresources.org , or about additional health and safety resources from AAOHN, call (800) 241-8014, x0.
Established in 1942, AAOHN is a 10,000 member professional association dedicated to advancing the health, safety and productivity of domestic and global workforces by providing education, research, public policy and practice resources for occupational and environmental health nurses. These professionals are the largest group of health care providers serving the worksite.
