Free Ergonomics Course Offered to Body Art Practitioners During National Ergonomics Month

Sept. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- To promote the benefits of ergonomics to body art practitioners, and to support National Ergonomics Month, the Body Art Training Group is offering its online course, "Tattoo Shop Ergonomics" free of charge during October 2012.  

Tattoo artists and permanent cosmetics technicians who take this course will learn that poor posture and making repetitive motions with vibrating tools can cause musculoskeletal disorders.

Tattoo Shop Ergonomics makes specific suggestions for reducing the stress tattooing puts on the tattoo artist's fingers, wrists, back and neck. Following these suggestions should lead to increased comfort, efficiency, and productivity.

National Ergonomics Month began in 2003 when the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society designated October of every year to be National Ergonomics Month. Ergonomics is the science of designing machines, tools, and work environments to promote human safety, comfort, and efficiency.
