Ergonomics Essentials (BOHS module)

About the Course:
This practical and comprehensive 5 day course provides a broad based introduction to ergonomics principles and their application in the design of work, equipment, jobs and the workplace. The course follows the BOHS syllabus which covers the range of skills and disciplines required to understand and apply ergonomics in an occupational setting. Particular consideration is given to understanding musculoskeletal disorders and their prevention through appropriate workplace design; this includes consideration of manual handling tasks, and display screen equipment use. Time is also spent in understanding ergonomics methods and developing ergonomics risk assessment skills. The course will be illustrated with examples and case studies from different industries ensuring that theory is clearly applied to practical situations. Delegates will take part in group exercises including workplace design and risk assessment. The tutors encourage delegate participation through questions and discussions, and you are welcome to bring specific ergonomics issues with you for consideration during the week.

The course supports candidates seeking to qualify for the BOHS Certificate of Competence in Ergonomics (see www.bohs.org for more information). There is an optional British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) module examination (M203) at the end of the course, which leads to a module certificate from BOHS.

On successful completion of this course, delegates will be able to:
- understand and apply ergonomics principles for the creation of a safer, healthier and more efficient workplace
- undertake ergonomic risk assessments
- identify appropriate risk reduction measures to reduce ergonomic risks
- understand the causes of upper limb disorders, and know how to prevent them
- apply ergonomics principles to the design of workplaces and design or selection of equipment
- appreciate environmental aspects of good ergonomic design
