Each unit of an ergonomic program curriculum should be targeted for the acquisition of one key point.

These points represent the needs of the specific workplace environment and they are determined by doing a site analysis.

Then, the unit should present specific objectives, based on that key point and linked with sub-objectives to provide a simple, yet effective way to meet those objectives.

Ergonomic training programs consist of a number of these key points. Employing adult learning theory in the design of ergonomic training programs increases the effectiveness in targeting and meeting ergonomic objectives.
