Learning unit contents
This introductory course aims at providing the student with sound theoretical knowledge for analysing and modelling sociotechnical systems, as well as practical bases on workplace analysis and risk assessment. During this course, we will discuss how the knowledge about human capabilities and limitations can be applied to the design of workplaces, work methods and jobs for optimal safety, well-being and overall system performance.
Topics include: the ergonomic approach to work analysis, regulations in ergonomics, methods for analysing work activity and risk exposure, physical risks and occupational accidents, musculoskeletal disorders, psychosocial risk factors, shift work and chronobiology, telework, platform work, Industry 4.0, and safety culture. A methodology point will also be present in order to support the student in understanding and putting into practice the various analyses possible in the world of work from an ergonomic perspective.
